Directed by Hernan Guerschuny, Nahir is the story of a girl who finds herself stuck in a grave situation that turns her life upside down and shocks the entire nation. One of the best decisions taken by the makers is using “silence” to their advantage. A lot of times, we see that directors make the narrative so dense with dialogue that the film loses its essence and isn’t able to have a deep impact on the viewers. The creative decision taken by the makers to give the protagonist minimal lines works in favor of the film. A lot of times, we do not get to know what is happening in Nahir’s mind, and it is left up to the viewers to form their own opinions and perceptions. So let’s find out what happened with Nahir Galarza, why the case garnered so much publicity, what all happened in real life,...

Buenos Aires — Celebrating its 10th anniversary with a huge hike in attendance to over 4,000 accredited delegates, the 2018 Ventana Sur will go down in history on multiple counts: Sales and pick-ups on movies which combined social comment and entertainment value, increasingly the new foreign-language movie standard; new sections, led by a Proyecta co-production forum and in-house doc Incubadora; and a reinvigorated conference strand.
Thierry Fremaux’s Cannes Festival Cinema Week also sold out, some sessions in just two hours, a sign he said in his opening keynote to Ventana Sur of a resilient theatrical audience for films.
With three Netflix executives in attendance, plus Amazon’s Pablo Lacoviello, 2018’s Ventana Sur suggested how the function of major film events is expanding in an Ott age. The battle for Ott supremacy will be fought over talent.
Much of the real industry dealing at Ventana Sur was and will be in the future...

A film critic turned filmmaker seems intent on confirming negative stereotypes about critics… and that’s before his movie gets truly unpleasantly smug. I’m “biast” (pro): I’m a film critic
I’m “biast” (con): not a huge fan of rom-coms
(what is this about? see my critic’s minifesto)
Former film critic Hernán Guerschuny makes his debut as screenwriter and director with The Film Critic, a movie that appears intent on confirming all the negative stereotypes about film critics, up to and including the one that we are all wannabe filmmakers. Víctor Tellez (Rafael Spregelburd) is a grumpy, elitist critic for a Buenos Aires newspaper — the Internet doesn’t seem to exist in this world — who holds popular movies in disdain, reserving the worst of his ire for the risible clichés and utter predictability of the romantic comedy. I can’t say I entirely disagree with...

It may be true that Argentinian filmmaker Hernán Guerschuny was formerly a critic, but his innocuously agreeable meta rom-com does nothing to dispel the myth that it's a job only for self-important, cine-hating blowhards keen to sharpen their knives and sink careers. (We'll take offense so you don't have to.) Professorially bearded curmudgeonly reviewer Víctor Tellez (Rafael Spregelburd) rules the Buenos Aires blurb roost, imagining his days as an art film with internally narrated asides in French. His disdain for crowd-pleasing formula is so patronizing (When Harry Met Sally should've started unhappily after the last kiss, he believes) that his own corporate-interested editor condemns him as a "terrorist of taste." He's annoyed by his teenage niece'...

The Film Critic (El Crítico) Music Box Films Reviewed by: Harvey Karten for Shockya. Databased on Rotten Tomatoes. Grade: B Director: Hernán Guerschuny Cast: Hernán Guerschuny Screened at: Review 2, NYC, 4/27/15 Opens: May 15, 2015 I learned a lot about film critics from viewing this movie. I conclude that I would never consider such a vocation, not even part time. Film critics are a burned-out lot, or at least Hernán Guerschuny has written and directed characters that show evidence of this phenomenon. They hate movies, but who can argue with that considering that a typical critic may see 100, 150, 200 or more each year, most of which are [ Read More ]
