First documentary about the legendary Argentine band Patricio Rey y sus Redonditos de Ricota, made by Alejandra Ceriani and Rocambole (Ricardo Cohen). It describes what the recitals of Patricio Rey y Sus Redonditos de Ricota were like in their first presentations in La Plata. There are two recitals and everything that happens inside, in the locker rooms, with the public. The medium-length film, which dates back to the late 80s, was made with the help of the Audiovisual Experimental Workshop of the Faculty of Fine Arts, a team that was trying to reopen the film career at the National University of La Plata.

It’s easy to dismiss Joel and Ethan Coen for writing from the world they build from outside the box of overarching Hollywood stereotypes, but their inability to compromise their collective vision is precisely what makes the simplistic nature of their world-building and characters so brilliant. It’s also what led Fargo to collect seven Oscar nominations and two wins for Best Original Screenplay and Best Actress for Frances McDormand’s brilliant portrayal of the sincere, motherly detective whose wholesome demeanor seizes the day over the selfishness, corruption and evil of the men who don’t comprehend that there’s more to life than a little money.
Overall, Cruella stands above the other Disney retellings. Its dark and bold, and that is exactly what these retellings should be. Emma Stone continues to prove she's one of the finest young actresses working today, and Emma Thompson gives one of the best villain performances in the last decade. The fashion is stunning, the dogs are adorable, and the story is wildly vibrant and original. It's classic movie fun, and it shouldn't be overlooked.
