"Bar El Chino"

Directed by Daniel Burak
A moving Argentine film about a neighborhood bar
with a warmth and spirit that inspires its patrons. The plot centers on
Martina, a young network television editor who decides to make a
documentary about the bar. Her first night there she meets Jorge Garces--El
Chino--who at one time had plans of his own to capture the beloved
nightspot on film, but became sidetracked by a lack of finances. When
Martina and Jorge team up, a beautiful film and a new relationship are
realized. Winner of the Best First Film for Daniel Burak at the 2004
Argentine Film Critics Association Awards. In Spanish without subtitles. 100
minutes. |
