Luna de Avellaneda (2004)
Club, sweet club
Campanella is the kind of filmmaker that will always try to reach your human side, that will try to get through you by your heart not by your head. His stories have some kind of infallible tenderness, something that goes beyond the fact that you can feel identified with a character or with a certain situation; a tenderness that's universal, that is the same for all man kind. "Luna de Avellaneda" is not at all the exception to the rule: it's just another Campanella movie. A simple plot, with simple characters, very familiar places (maybe too familiar) dialogs that can mix really damn good trivial elements with deep ones, and smart humor, all these things, create the big panoramic picture of what this movie is. Great cast (Darín, Morán, Blanco mostly) and great production (for an Argentinian movie) do the rest. Then, all you have to do is sit and enjoy this happy go lucky movie, where every bad is eclipsed by some great good, and everything is just there to reveal you a lesson to remember, an that's to keep hope, and to hold on to things that matter although time may pass them by.

Lucía y el sexo (2001)
A story full of advantages
This is the kind of movie you'll like and you'll have to see again. So smart, so amazingly entertaining, full of details you begin to realize as the end is approaching. As opposed to what some people may think, I believe that all the sex scenes, although they are pretty explicit, are totally necessary in order to tell the story and to show the characters just as they are. It's a movie to really think about and it goes from what it seems a twisted story full of rather weird elements to a (if you wanna see it in that way) sweet and simple love story. The acting was good, but mostly because there was a great book and a great direction behind it: Médem's work was remarkable. If you don't mind seeing some, you may say, awkward sex scenes, and you're looking for a really great plot, with great dialogs full of symbolisms, and also excellent photography, then you're just gonna love this one.

Don't even think of renting it
One of the worst movies I've ever seen. Although it is based on a TV show it seems as though they've tried to make the movie quite different from the show with no good results. It reaches a point when you're not sure if it's a teen's movie or a children's one: There's implicit sex but also the kind of humor you find on a cartoon (e.g: the scene where they try to catch the rooster). Besides from the band issues the only real story developed in the movie is Mia's and Manuel's, leaving the other "couple" behind only to kiss almost at the end of the movie (which comes totally out of the blue, like lots of situations in the entire movie). Finally, it has a script full of clichés and a break of that with some songs that can make your hears blow (awfull voices, even worst lyrics). Maybe the only thing that can keep you eyes open is the beautiful view of the north of the country that is shown.
