The Official Story [1985]

starring: Hector Alterio, Norma Aleandro, Chunchuna Villafane, Hugo Arana, Guillermo Battaglia
directed by: Luis Puenzo

Release Date April 11, 2005
I first saw this film when my own little girl was about the same age as the child in the film. It turned me inside out! The lead actress Norma Aleandro gives one of the finest performances I have ever seen. Hector Alterio as her husband plays the part of the irritated and increasingly panic struck husband brilliantly too. Incidently, the two came together again in 2001 to play a devoted husband and wife with Alzheimer's in 'Son of the Bride'. Unsurprisingly, they steal the show.

Summer of the Colt [1989] (REGION 1) (NTSC)

starring: Héctor Alterio, Manuel Callau, Alexandra London-Thompson, China Zorrilla, Santiago Gonzales
directed by: Andre Melancon

Release Date January 01, 2003
I have viewed many Rock Demers films (he is one of my favourite film-makers). Previously, my favourite was Tommy Tricker And The Stamp Traveler. It may seem odd that a Frech Canadian children's film-maker would be doing an Argentinian story, but he pulls it off beautifully. I now believe this is his best film. Not surprisingly since love is at the heart of this story (as it is with all good stories). Beautifully shot on location in Argentina, this is the story of three city children who go to spend their summers with their grandfather on his huge ranch. This summer is a crossroads for the family and a young friend as they discover the true value of family and friendship. This is a heart-warming story that will delight viewers of all ages. I highly ... Read More:
