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.

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.

The film stagnates by restricting camera mobility and focusing more on capturing dimensions of the performances in close-up.

For the non-Argentine audience, though, more context would have helped these wonderful songs and dances tell the nation’s story.
