This gorgeously poetic mixture of musical and documentary continues three-time Academy Award nominee Carlos Saura’s exploration of traditional Argentine folklore and its musical heritage. Saura traces this heritage from ancient, traditional styles all the way up to modern dance. A beautiful depiction of Argentine history and culture through art.

What are critics saying?
Slant Magazine by Clayton Dillard
The film stagnates by restricting camera mobility and focusing more on capturing dimensions of the performances in close-up.
The New York Times by Neil Genzlinger
For the non-Argentine audience, though, more context would have helped these wonderful songs and dances tell the nation’s story.
Los Angeles Times by Robert Abele
As you watch Argentina, it truly is about the all-as-one: the music, the dance, the light Saura provides, and the illumination these performers bring themselves.
