After the nomination of “Argentina, 1985” at the Oscar for the best international film, the actor Ricardo Darín celebrated the Academy’s decision and underlined the film’s importance40 years after the recovery of democracy.
“It’s essential for the youngest. Kids who were born into a democracy don’t necessarily have to perceive the importance of what its construction means, they take it naturally, it’s the natural order of things. The film suggests remembering and reclaiming the struggle of many people and the lives that have been lost,” the actor reflects.
Talking to Radio with Vos, Darín ruled out that politics was the reason why the Academy opted for the film and He saved the solidity of the screenplay, direction and performances.
Mashed potato praised Santiago Mitre, its director: “I’m happy as much for the film as for him, He’s a brilliant young director, he deserves what he gets. He works hard.”
Furthermore, he evaluated the other candidates and said that his favorite is “Closer”, from Belgium, although he acknowledged that the big candidate is “No news on the front”, from Germany. However, he argued that it “lacks a certain punch”. “I just saw that it’s being considered for Best Picture. It’s a big favorite. What happens is that it’s kind of the same,” she commented.
