El hombre que amaba los platos voladores

The Man Who Loved UFOs is an Argentinian film set in the 1980s, and its cinematography effectively captured the essence of the era. The visual style was fitting, offering a nostalgic look that complemented the period. However, the film's storyline lacked the necessary depth and punch. There were moments where more thought-provoking events could have driven the narrative, especially in the middle portion of the film, which could have sustained viewer engagement for at least 30-40% of the runtime.

The central character's performance stood out as one of the strengths of the film, delivering a compelling portrayal amidst a relatively weak script. Unfortunately, the first half of the movie struggled to captivate, making it challenging to stay engaged throughout. Despite these shortcomings, The Man Who Loved UFOs was still a commendable attempt from Argentina, showing potential, even if it missed the mark in terms of storytelling.

As an Argentinian i'm feeling upset, which I think is the purpose of the movie. I'm feeling upset because i'm feeling stupid, let me clarify, it's not like me or anyone of my generation took him seriously, but if Netflix was interested in the man, it is because they might have thought there was something special about him, or his story...but there's no story, because from the beginning we know it's a hoax.

The story is so linear and simple, that the only mystery is trying to figure out, who is the showgirl, t.v personality, and hookup lady, and why was he interviewing her with his pants down?. That character made as much sense as using an umbrella to get out of a swimming pool, and that's in the movie too.

Altogether, it's boring and I keep wondering if it was supposed to be a comedy or what.
