Waiting for the Messiah

Taglines

Overview

In 1999, Argentina's peso craters. Ariel, a young man from Buenos Aires' Jewish community, deals with his mother's fatal illness, finds a job as a night shift surveillance camera monitor, and wonders when he'll discover sex. Santamaria, middle aged, loses his bank job and is dismissed by his wife; he finds stolen wallets in dumpsters to return to their owners. Ariel tells Santamaria's story to a TV reporter who profiles lives on the street. She's Laura, in a relationship with another woman, but perhaps available. Ariel desires Laura, while Santamaria courts Elsa, a washroom attendant who's husband is in prison. Christmas and Hanukkah approach; can anyone connect?

Aspettando il Messia

Taglines

Overview

Situata sotto Natale, nel periodo del crollo delle banche asiatiche, all'interno di una comunità ebraica e piccoloborghese di Buenos Aires, la vicenda segue 4 personaggi e i loro intrecci sentimentali. Da una sceneggiatura dell'argentino D. Burman premiata al Sundance Film Festival, è una commedia che, su un pittoresco sfondo etnico-religioso, miscela bozzettismo, folclore porteño, umorismo facile, vittimismo sudamericano, stereotipi di protesta anticapitalistica, attriti e complicazioni della vita metropolitana. Spicca tra gli interpreti E. Pineyro. Premiato a Biarritz, Valladolid e L'Havana. Successo di pubblico in Argentina, reso "invisibile" dalla censura del mercato in Italia. Montaggio: Jacopo Quadri. Prodotto da Amedeo Pagani.

Esperando al Mesías

Overview

Ariel Goldstein es un joven judío de clase media. O mejor: es un joven de clase media que se siente obsesionado con el judaísmo, lo que él llama la "burbuja". Vive y trabaja con su padre, filmando casamientos y toda clase de actos sociales de los miembros de la comunidad judía, más menos respetuosos con las tradiciones religiosas. Cuando cambie los bar-mitzvas por una productora de televisión por cable empezará a tomar contacto con otra gente. Lo que lo invita a replantearse su lugar dentro del mundo y de la burbuja.
