70s Argentinean Cinema
25 films that provide an overview of the decade. In chronological order. My criteria: Argentinean productions or co-productions, made during the 70s, in Spanish. The idea is to give an overview of different genres and styles. Hence the inclusion of films that may not be cinematic masterpieces, but which nevertheless represent a particular approach.
