Some Argentines Full Of Beans Do It
12 February 2005
Warning: Spoilers
This is a toughie to dope. It's difficult to figure out its target audience. Set in a spa town in Argentina the principal characters either live in a hotel or are visiting it for a Medical Conference. One of the doctors, an ENT man who resembles Arthur Miller (the late Arthur Miller as Miller's death has just been announced) has a penchant for frottage and naturally his target is an adolescent girl knee-deep in religious instruction classes - and incidentally a member of one of the most unprepossessing classes in screen history, it's almost as if there were a second convention being staged, a Plain Jane convention - who decides she has been chosen to save him. Things take a predictable twist when the girl's divorced mother is also drawn to the doc. If ambiguity is In this season then this is right where it's at cutting edge wise.
