‘The Silver Man’
Critics have praised not only the film, but also the its directors: “It would be easy to recognize the authorship of this film by two gentlemen called Gastón Duprat and Mariano Cohn. The films I have seen by them and in the series have clear signs of identity. All of them are favorable. For starters, they make me laugh and smile, two invaluable sensations.. They have brilliant ideas, they deal with first-class irony and sarcasm, they are unpredictable in the development of their ideas,” he writes in his criticisms in ‘El País’.

Regarding the plot, he adds: “They choose to mix short stories with more developed stories. They may cause you a bitter smile, astonishment, some laughter and complicity.unless you feel portrayed in some of the miseries they describe. (…) They say that ‘Homo Argentum’ angered the Kirchnerists. I also think about the film they could make about a character like Milei. Laughter would be guaranteed. And probably, for that matter, fear.”
