This riveting film demonstrates why great actors and actresses such as Antonio Banderas and Emma Thompson perform in "popcorn" movies -- it allows them the financial freedom to make truly important films. "Imagining Argentina" is just such a film. Passion, suspense, devotion, romance, and probing insights into human nature -- the best and worse within us -- make this film a tremendous credit to those who made it. What's amazing is how little press this received. It's beautiful; it literally kept me on the edge of my seat for more than half the movie. The acting is superb, the story-line captivating. Highly recommended. The DVD will be part of my permanent collection.
