OK, it's not a surprise that Sorin did it again. He is without any doubt one of the top three living directors from Argentina, an the only one who passes the borders of our country without any type of presumption and grandiloquence in his features. Particularly in this movie, "El Camino de San Diego", -the title referring to Argentina biggest living Icon, Diego Armando Maradona- SOrin shows as that a fantastic road movie, which includes all the components of this genre, can be done in this part of the world, and with the surprising fact of the main character not driving a single kilometer. We get to see two main thing in this movie. First of all, a unique love story. That is, the one which exits between Argentines and the football idol. A love thats surpasses any distance, monetary limitation and even the reality. The main character is up to everything in order to achieve his wish. That is, to give Diego a piece of wood with his face on it. The second main point of this movie, and here we enter SOrin's favorite field, is the accurate picture of the Argentina's country and town inhabitants, all of them trying to help the story hero so that he can achieve his goal. Again, an in Historias Minimas and Bombón, Sorin gets fantastic performances from non-professional actors. Not to extend it any longer, I can Farly say that this is the best picture about Maradona, and it doesn't even has to show him on screen
