Mercano, el marciano (2002)
A little bit of this!, A little bit of that!
¨Mercano, el marciano¨ is one of the best animations films ever made in argentina. It`s different from anything done in the country and it has a new Acid view of reality. The voices and actors are great!. It remembers me ¨Bar Imperial¨ from Gabriel Grieco. Both films from 2002. It has the same kind of humor and the same kind of plot, a mix from fantasy and realism. I think that this new kind of cinema is growing bigger in argentina, and both Antin and Grieco are the new names of this phenomenon. What is this new fantastic cinema about? It has a little bit of genre movies, a little bit of elements from classic genre movies, but it also has a particular view of the terrible reality that is happening in argentina. A mix from ¨Pizza Birra y Faso¨ style and classic genre movies. It`s more than a simple entertaining movie. Caetano is trying to follow the same new style with ¨Un Oso Rojo¨, a mix of western and realism. I think that soon or later this will become the new argentinian cinema, a mix between entertaining a nd neorealism. Why? Because people is tired of the same kind of movies, they need a mix... a little bit of this, a little bit of that...

CHANGES
Josè(Miguel Angel Paludi) is happy spending his ¨saturdays¨ on a traditional Tango Bar. But his favorite place is starting to change. Changes are strange, from tango music to hip hop... Josè will not let this happen!.
This short film is from Gabriel Grieco, a young argentinian filmmaker who won several awards and whose shorts were seen in several Tv programs. Paludi who played a role in Moebius (1996) has an excellent performance starring with Berta Muñiz (Plaga Zombie, 1997), Bernardo Perco (Tocà Para mi, 2001) and Kashima (from t.v series TODO POR 2 PESOS)
GREAT MOMENT: Berta Muñiz does a great mix from ¨El dia que me quieras (carlos gardel)¨ to a Fat Boy Slim song.
