Love Is a Fat Woman

About This Movie

Love Is a Fat Woman is an interesting slice of Argentine cinema. The pacing feels deliberate, almost reflective, as we follow José, a journalist who's caught in a moral dilemma. The atmosphere is thick with the tension of political undercurrents in Argentina during the 80s. José's refusal to cater to sensationalism shows a deep sense of integrity. The characters are well-drawn, particularly José, whose journey is marked by both nostalgia and disillusionment. It's this blend of personal and political that sets it apart. The performances feel authentic, and there’s a rawness to the dialogue that resonates. Plus, the practical effects, while minimal, serve to enhance the realism of the setting. Definitely a unique piece worth discussing among collectors.
