Un Coup De Maître

Those 2 main actors (Brandoni and Francella) have a particular chemistry well-know in Argentina that works well for this movie, but if you are from another country you mind find this movie boring, slow and non-sense, you are aware now. ;) The movie is not great, they have worked in better films, it is just a tale of 2 big friends, you might forget this movie by tomorrow. Beautiful landscapes at the end. Characters guide as Zodiac Signs made by myself: Arturo: Capricorn Renzo: Taurus Eugenia: Virgo Dudu: Leo Alex: Aquarius.

You can laugh a lot with this movie, but this is far from being a comedy. It´s more about a relationship between two close friends, a four decade friendship and how the love each other. One is a great artist who is bitter about all the society and the modern world, the other one is an artist curator and his agent. Luis Brandoni plays the artist and he steals every scene he´s in it thanks to his voice, eyes and all the experience that such talented actor has grown over many years. Francella is very solid too. The history starts somewhat like a comedy, but it turns to a drama and then you´ll find an hilarous plot twist. Some nice photography, adequate music, a good script and great performances makes this a very enjoyable film. I totally recommend it!

First, a realistic portrait and touching eulogy of friendship. Second - admirable work of Luis Brandoni and Guillermo Francella. Not the last - the healthy humor. Short, just the comedy who you must see. Not only for story/situations/ characters but for the precise lessons about beauty, joy and profound comradery. And, sure, about a too , very honest ONG activist.

This movie was directed by Mariano Cohn (well known for co-directing "El ciudadano ilustre", a movie I enjoyed a lot un 2016) and was hilarious, funny, sad, dramatic... plenty of feelings combined. Brandoni delivered a great performance, he is basically the movie, even if he doesn't appear at the screen. With this movie time goes really fast. Pure entertainment.

Very amusing all the way through. Guillermo Francella was also in The Secret in Their Eyes (the Argentinian version), where he displayed the exact same dead-pan humor playing as Pablo Sandoval. In fact the whole movie seemed to be written for his style of humor (tongue-in-cheek).

This is a film about true friendship, Argentinian style. In my country friendship is some kind of religión we all profess. So we feel touched by the situations in this film. Another good reason to watch it is enjoy the actors' great work. Impressive, even when we know they are among the best actors of Argentina. Great movie! go watch it.

After sawing a couple of movies form the same director, I knew I was going to enjoyed this movie. The smart script and performances will transport you deeply into it. It will not only make you laugh and cry, furthermore you will think about the irony that is between the lines. Is not needed to be an Argentinian to understand the sarcasm, the main argument and criticism of the film is inherent in the visual arts world.

Guillermo Francella and Luis Brandoni deliver a high quality performance and form a memorable duo. Moreover, the film is generally successful even if the scenario is sometimes perfectible, with 2/3 insufficiently credible transitions . But this remains secondary. I loved it!
