Hoy y mañana (2003)
Excellent interpretation by Antonella Costa, movie shown in Cannes
This movie was shown as part of "A certain regard" in Cannes Film Festival this year (2003). It was well received by the critics and shows that Antonella Costa (Garage Olimpo, Figli/Hijos) is an excellent actress and that she has a bright future. The movie is a reflection of the crisis in Argentina which lead people to do things that normally should not happen. It is Alejandro Chomsky's first feature, and was obviously finished before the new Argentinian president's election. Fortunately, although still a bit too early to be sure, there are some encouraging signs of optimism in Argentina. Anyway the economical situation is still critical and the unemployment (in a certain way one of the movie's subject) is always very high in Argentina. This movie shows that there is a lot of young talent in this country. Let's hope it will be released abroad.
The Harvey Girls (1946)
Fantastic score:"On the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe"
This very nice movie has a superb cast, starting with Judy Garland, always excellent. I enjoyed particularly the interpretation of several characters actors, including Marjorie Main, Chill Will, Selena Royle and (the at that moment) still not very popular CYd Charisse. Also note that Ray Bolger is very funny. Even John Hodiak does not disappoint. But above all the famous song "In the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe" is unforgettable. For all this I believe this movie deserves 8 points.
