A quasi-documentary view of the Argentine drama

Bar "El Chino" proves that good movies can be made with very limited resources. The main plot line, based on two characters (Jorge and Martina) is beautifully mixed with two other lines, the documentary on a legendary bar in Buenos Aires' Southern district of Pompeya, and the 2001 collapse of a fake democracy. Jorge (Boy Olmi) and Martina (Jimena Latorre) are two generations apart. He represents the eternal need to return to one's roots. She exhibits an exuberant mix of hope, love and ambition. Olmi and Latorre offer a memorable performance, worth of a sequel (maybe Robert Duvall will read these lines?) Most of the characters are real "porteños", and the way they express their true feelings is really touching. Editing and camera are good. The film music could be better, but it shows strength and authenticity. A must-see for those who try to understand Buenos Aires, its people and the nature of tango.
