Although I know the expression “once in a blue moon”, up to yesterday I didn’t know -nor wonder- what a blue moon actually is. But yesterday, all of a sudden, both Belgians and Argentines mentioned it to me, on the same blue moon night. August 31st. It is supposed to…

Dos más dos is the latest -absolutely hilarious- movie by Diego Kaplan. It’s about 2 couples, Diego and Emilia (Adrian Suar and Julieta Diaz) and Richard and Betina (Juan Minujín and Carla Peterson). They have been first friends for over 10 years, and the husbands are partners in a clinic.…

Continue reading →: Negativity
Coming back from a long trip abroad, I was struck by negativity. People complaining. Prices have gone up again, the import restrictions are really starting to show, and after winter holidays it seems clear that it is virtually impossible for Argentines to get dollars to travel.

Continue reading →: Elsa and Fred
I seem to have found my way to the Argentine movies, here is another jewel. Elsa and Fred. It is the story of Elsa, a woman in her late 70s, who talks too much, lies all the time but most importantly, has the spirit of a teenager. She does all…
