"Funny Dirty Little War"
1983
Directed by Hector Olivera

Soriano, this is a savage black comedy about the eruption of a civil war in a quiet Argentine village when a local Peronist politician claims a municipal clerk is a Communist. The story lampoons political zealots of all kinds while exposing the roots of the official terrorism that Argentina suffered under the military junta. Starring Federico Luppi, Julio de Grazia, Ulises Dumont. Spanish with English subtitles.  80 minutes.
