Excellent film about one of the brightest Argentinian writers

You won't find a good rating for this movie, even when it's a very good one from a cinematic point of view alone. The movie shows why Argentina is a 3rd world country considered as one of the less free economic countries in the world. It accomplish this following one of Sebreli's books about our romantic icons. Don't expect a boring documentary because the pace here is fast and clever. But again: don't expect a good rating. After 70 years of populism, you'll find many fanatics telling you this film is full of lies, and that Maradona is our true god. Judge for yourself. And don't miss meeting one of our brightest writers: Juan José Sebreli.
