Yo tengo fe

About This Movie

Yo tengo fe is a charming blend of comedy and music that unfolds the life of Palito Ortega through the character of Martín Ríos. It’s got this warm, almost nostalgic vibe as it captures the struggles of a young boy from the Tucumán countryside trying to make it in the big city. The pacing feels relaxed, allowing you to soak in the music and the humor that flows throughout. What stands out here are Ortega’s performances—he brings this genuine emotional depth that adds to the film's overall appeal. The practical effects in the musical numbers have a certain raw quality that feels endearing, making it distinct in a way that’s hard to articulate.

This film has had a sparse release history, making it a bit of a rarity for collectors. Its original prints are not easy to come by, as many copies are held tightly by fans of classic Argentine cinema. Interest in this title has been steadily increasing, particularly with the resurgence of interest in 70s Latin American films, making it an intriguing piece for collectors looking to delve into this unique genre.
