About This Movie

The Day Maradona Met Gardel is a curious blend of drama, fantasy, and music that explores the cultural fabric of Argentina through an unusual narrative. The film takes you on this surreal journey where two vastly different characters – a watchmaker and a TV editor – become unlikely heroes. Their mission? To liberate the spirit of Carlos Gardel from a devilish entrapment. There's something really intriguing about how it weaves together the essence of Argentine folklore and soccer passion. The performances are charmingly quirky, and the pacing feels like a leisurely stroll through a dreamscape. The practical effects used throughout add a certain tactile quality. It’s not your conventional film, and that’s what sets it apart.

Interesting mix of genres that reflects Argentine culture.Unique narrative approach with a focus on folklore.Practical effects enhance the surreal atmosphere.
