Cinema of Argentina on Blu-ray? - Blu-ray Forum

onetet · 10-10-2013, 09:01 PM

Is there already a thread for discussion of the films from Argentina on blu-ray?

I'd like to expand my knowledge of the history of cinema in Argentina, from the silent era to the present, and feel very limited by the small number of titles that have been released in the U.S. I have some small pockets of familiarity--I know Invasion (Hugo Santiago, 1969); Funny Little Dirty War (1983); The Official Story (1985); and the work of some more recent directors such as Lisandro Alonso, Fabian Bielinsky, and Juan José Campanella, for instance--but I'm eager to see and learn about a much wider range of Argentine films.

Recommendations of particular titles from any era and genre, directors to read up on, best blu-ray editions, and best merchant to order from are all appreciated.

Thanks very much! Any recommendations for classic Argentine films from the 1930s-40s, or edgy films from the 1960s-70s?
