Family feuds

The first, and most puzzling, question that came to my mind was: What was Alfredo Alcon thinking when he decided to join this misguided comedy? It is hard to imagine that an actor with his trajectory and distinguished career could have seen in the travesty, (no pun intended since he plays a cross dresser!) it turned out to be. Having worked with the likes of Leopoldo Torre Nilsson and other great filmmakers, we are baffled at seeing this man make a fool of himself for no reason at all.

Daniel Barone, the director, has done much better before, just see "Epitafios 2" to witness what he is capable of doing. Same goes for Adrian Suar, the producer of the above mentioned successful television series, who has a role in this so-called comedy about bad taste!

Pure absurd

I don't think that many people consider "Cohen vs. Rosi" an excellent movie. Me neither. But I just couldn't stop laughing. It's a very simplistic plot, which is great. The funniest thing about the movie are the details: the dialogues, the gags, pure nonsense. The actors are great (and not every day you have the chance of seeing such a cast!).

It smells of "Esperando la carroza" a bit (from the same writer, better movie - if you haven't seen it, you SHOULD!). It is always great to remember those old grotesque movies.

"Cohen vs. Rosi" is one of the most bizarre contemporary movies from Argentina I've ever seen (besides "Soy tu aventura" - pure absurd again). And even if you don't like it, don't you think that the grandparents' kiss scene is worth the whole movie? :)
