Minimal Stories is a thoroughly engrossing and enjoyable simple road movie where the emphasis is on the characters, rather than the story.
Argentina seems to excel in this genre. Three people set off on a journey - each looking to fulfil an expectation - and all end up satisfied. The feel good factor is in abundance. It compares well to similar road movies such as Bombon and Las Acacias, where the directors uses a largely non-professional cast, who in turn give that honest portrayal of simple folk in a landscape. In each case the main character tends to be an old man on a journey looking back in time and observing the younger generation. When watching these movies I am always looking for a political or religious undertone and in every case it does not exist. These are simply great feel good movies and very well made. Well recommended.
