Against patriotic chauvinism
13 February 2002
The Campanella's film Son of the Bride is far away from the best achievements in filmmaking. To say it's a film inscript into the "Hollywood Tradition" and quote such names as King Vidor, Vincente Minelli and even -the greatest lie- Frank Capra it's only a proof of the patriotic chauvinism of some so-called "film critics" in our country. The manipulation of the script, the dmagogic exculpation of a little bussiness man who blames in some way "the system" for his own misery and the hope for a "happy end" out of the screen ere evidences of the type of demagogic way of filming on the "greatest films" (only about the money they costs) in our country. Son of the Bride is far away too from the bravest films made in Argentina, thos who goes with enormous effort to the most important film festivals in the world and catch the moviegoers and critic's attention: Pizza, Birra, Faso; Mundo Grúa, Nueve Reinas, La ciénaga, La Libertad, Bolivia and many others, made with authentic love for the cinema and real respect for the real world.
