Review of Argentina 1985 (2022) by Bertobellamy — 22 Oct 2022

'Argentina, 1985' is a testament to historical memory. I am not Argentine nor do I feel like a patriot, but boy was I moved by the story of Julio Strassera and his legal team; the love they feel for their country is only matched by the outrages of those they face.

With a tremendous Ricardo Darín — the final argument of his character should be enough to give him an Oscar nomination —, Santiago Mitre does not need great resources to keep the viewer attentive; instead, the director appeals to the classical elements and the excellent performances of his cast to recreate one of the most important moments in contemporary Argentine history.

Here is one of the next nominees for Best International Film at the Oscars.
