i love this film so much i buy it in dvd and and in the last three year have show it to 1 ) my argentine wife while 2 ) her adult child and their friend while 3 ) several of my argentine friend and and 4 ) the cat ( who have to watch it while i be watch it ) . all except the last have to a person find it both completely believable and unremarkable in the sense of yeah and so what new . in it verisimilitude . the film be just about as crazy a real life be in argentina and and the police overrule police scene be just one example . the conversation in the tango joint about the tango and people and argentina and life be all about as real a i have witness here myself . the long i be here the more i realize how difficult it be to portray what argentina be really like and mainly because it isn not any one thing but a whole mishmash of cultural and historical and economic and and political thing that career around in people life and their mind and their emotion continuously . the only thing i can say for sure be that if you meet anyone even an argentine who tell you argentina and it life and culture be easy to explain and do not believe it . someone say living here be like live a kafka novel and and sometimes it certainly can feel that way . conspiracy theory a a way of life have be endemic here and as far a i can tell and since the country first get go . the rural urban split be real the whole city of buenos aire vote completely differently from the rest of the country and it doesn not mean a whit of difference except that the federal government become even more reluctant to help the capital because it politics be so frequently play out on another planet . and i be not sure i agree with other comment that argentine have a big inferiority complex while i think it more like a confusion complex and i. e. and why do not these other people understand life the way i do . the film also remind me a bit of apochalypse now in that you just sort of have to watch it many time and perhaps and realize at the end youre just about as confused a you be when you first saw it and so if youre like me and you accept that and live with it and and be happy to hear any new interpretation that might come along . finally and i believe that argentina be not a comfortable place to live if youre not extremely familiarity with and experience in living in paradox and confusion and and isaiah berlin theory of negative freedom . thank god and i love it . but i know many do not .
