Review of Sábado

Sábado (2001)
8/10
A Portrait of a wandering Generation
13 December 2004
I had the chance to see this movie at the Latin BEAT festival in New York City in 2003. I will not comment on the plot, there is almost no plot, but that it is a really well achieved portrayal of a Generation of young argentinians that wander. They don't have money, Argentina is bankrupted, and they have nothing to do on a Saturday. Indiferent whether the plan is to go out or stay at home, go for a drive or walk, there is nihilism all aver the movie and this can be annoying. It is not if you think that the movie was actually made by kids the generation of those depicted in the movie. If you saw Richard Linklater's "slacker", well, this is the new millennium argie version.
