Un elefante color ilusión

About This Movie

So, 'Un elefante color ilusión' is this quirky blend of comedy, family, and music that really captures a certain whimsical charm. The story follows a boy who journeys from Chaco to Buenos Aires, bringing along an elephant he saved from a circus—definitely an unusual premise. The pacing is a bit loose, which adds to the dreamlike quality of the film, almost like a fairy tale. It’s interesting how it juxtaposes childhood innocence with the bustling life of the city. The practical effects with the elephant are rather endearing, and the performances, though not high-octane, have this genuine warmth. It's one of those pieces that invites you in, offering a peek into a different era of Argentine cinema.

Finding 'Un elefante color ilusión' in good condition can be a bit of a treasure hunt, as it hasn't seen many re-releases over the years. Most collectors are drawn to its distinctive narrative style and the charming performances, not to mention the nostalgia of 1970s Argentine cinema. The VHS and DVD formats are relatively scarce, so if you come across one, it’s worth adding to your collection, especially for those interested in international family comedies.
