Nazareno Cruz and the Wolf (1975)

An operistic werewolf tale

[6 June 2000]

Leonardo Favio adapted a radio soap opera story about an amazing operistic style. Everything is extreme, the lighting, the art direction, the sound recording recreates a dream environment crowded of fine characters. Nora Cullen, in a masterwork, performs an old witch who tries to protect the newborn werewolf. This movie became one of the most succesfull in Argentine filmmaking

The House of the Angel (1957)

The first great Torre Nilsson film

[10/10 · 24 May 2000]

This movie reflects a major change in Argentine filmmaking and the maturity of a young director. The decadence of the aristocracy is showed subtlety in a claustrophobic atmosphere. The innocence confronted with the sexuality of a young woman. A superb art direction. A masterpiece on filmmaking
