First thing’s first: Coronavirus (COVID-19)<\/em><\/p>\n

According to New York Times article “How Coronavirus Hijacks Your Cells<\/a>,” “infected people can avoid spreading the virus by wearing a mask, but healthy people do not need to wear a mask unless they are caring for a sick person. The best way to avoid getting infected with the coronavirus and other viruses is to wash your hands with soap<\/strong>, avoid touching your face<\/strong>, keep your distance from sick people<\/strong> and regularly clean frequently used surfaces<\/strong>.\u201d<\/p>\n

Argentine Films<\/em><\/p>\n

In light of the so-called pandemic, please find below our Top Argentina Movies blog<\/a>\u00a0to improve your Spanish from the comfort of your own home-away-from-home. Some of these are available on Netflix, Hulu, Youtube, Amazon, and the deep-dark web.<\/p>\n

The Argentine film industry is among the most developed in the history of Latin American cinema, along with Mexico and Brazil.\u00a0Films produced in Argentina have won countless awards and is the only country in Latin America to have one Academy Awards for \u201cBest Foreign Language Film.\u201d<\/p>\n

If you are taking\u00a0Spanish courses<\/a>\u00a0or doing a\u00a0study abroad program in Buenos Aires<\/a>, watching the following movies is a great way to practice listening comprehension (or even reading if you need the subtitles). We hope you enjoy these films as much as did. They are all available on\u00a0Netflix, or other online streaming sites. Below are eight films that are among the most popular made by the Argentine cinema.<\/p>\n

8. \u00a0My\u00a0German Friend \/ El amigo alem\u00e1n\u00a0<\/em>(2012)<\/strong>
\n\"german_friend_526x773\"Based in the 1950s, the love story between Sulamit and Friedrich\u00a0endured some of\u00a0the worst years of Argentine history. Sulamit is the German-Jewish daughter of refugees and Friedrich is the son of German-Nazis who fled to Argentina to avoid persecution. Their commitment to each other grew\u00a0as they were both children between the fall of Peron\u2019s government in 1955 and the seven-year military dictatorship that lasted from 1976 to 1983. Friedrich always rejected the Nazi past of his family and decides to become a left-winged militant to fight against the\u00a0authoritarian military regime in Argentina. This film is not the typical Hollywood love story; it is powerful and very raw.<\/p>\n

7. \u00a0Nine Queens \/ Nueve reinas<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0(2000)<\/strong>
\n<\/strong>\"\"
\nTwo con artists in Buenos Aires, Marcos and Juan, try to swindle a stamp collector by selling him a sheet of counterfeit rare stamps\u00a0called the \u201cnine queens.\u201d\u00a0As this\u00a0once in a lifetime scheme develops, deception mounts and it becomes more difficult to figure out who is conning whom. This movie is known\u00a0to be a typical Buenos Aires\u2019 ingenious scam story\u00a0full of\u00a0\u201cchamuyo\u201d\u00a0<\/em>(chatting up)\u00a0with a\u00a0surprise ending that will keep you guessing and won\u2019t let you down in the end.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

6.\u00a0The Official Story \/ La historia oficial<\/em>\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0(1985)<\/strong>
\n<\/b>Thi\"the-official-story-movie-poster-1985-1020244071\"s is Argentina\u2019s first \u201cBest Foreign Film\u201d Oscar win, and is a mix of political cinema and human drama. The story takes place in Buenos Aires during the early 1980s, right after the end of the military dictatorship 1976-83. Alicia is a high school history teacher and her husband Roberto is a successful lawyer.\u00a0Together they have a 5 year old\u00a0daughter who they adopted. After experiencing feelings of doubt, Alicia goes on a search to uncover the story behind her daughter\u2019s origin, specifically her birth mother. When Alicia discovers the truth, it shakes her personal life just as the dictatorship shook Argentina.<\/p>\n

This film was the first attempt to put a face on the issue of clandestine adoption, where children of the disappeared born in captivity (detention centers) were stolen after birth and given to military and \u201cwell-connected\u201d families that were looking to adopt. This was a tactic that the regime used to intellectually purify the new generation by putting babies with families with the same ideology as the military.
\n
\n5.\u00a0Burnt Money \/ Plata quemada<\/em>\u00a0(2000)
\n<\/strong>\"burnt_money\"Burnt Money<\/em>\u00a0is an LGBT film based on the book of the same name by Ricardo Piglia, a famous Argentine writer. The book is a classic in Latin American Literature and\u00a0is also based on the true story of a bank robbery in Buenos Aires in the 1960s. Three men, Nene, \u00c1ngel, and Cuervo, escape to Uruguay after commiting a massive robbery and have to stay in Montevideo until\u00a0the bloody aftermath blows over. Nene and \u00c1ngel become steamy lovers while waiting for their fake passports in order to return to Argentina.\u00a0Their\u00a0relationship is\u00a0a passionate, destructive, uncompromising depiction of love. The audience shares the sweltering boredom of their exile, the desperation of Nene\u2019s love for \u00c1ngel, and \u00c1ngel\u2019s psychotic attempts to save Nene. This intensely erotic and romantic film is one that will stay with you.<\/p>\n

4.\u00a0The Motorcycle Diaries \/ Diarios de motocicleta<\/em>\u00a0(2004)
\n<\/strong>\"MV5BMTYzNjAxOTU3MF5BMl5BanBnXkFtZTcwMzg0NTkyMw@@._V1_SX640_SY720_\"<\/a>This film tells the story of the journey and written memoir of a 20-something-year-old Ernesto Guevara de Cerna, more famously known as Che Guevara.\u00a0Ernesto, just one semester away from graduating medical school, postpones his studies to embark on a motorcycle journey through South America with his friend Alberto. They start in Buenos Aires and what awaits\u00a0is an internal discovery that transforms them by observing the life of the impoverished indigenous peasantry of Latin America. Ernesto and Alberto\u00a0witness the injustices that the lower social classes\u00a0are faced with, which the duo interprets as a paramount of Latin American identity. The trip is also the base of Ernesto\u2019s revolutionist ideology\u00a0and extreme political and social aspirations that reject the status quo. Guevara later became known as a Marxist guerrilla commander and revolutionary.<\/p>\n

Sadly, Che Guevara\u2019s image has been popularized and distorted by popular culture. Today he is most recognized on t-shirts and posters as a communist. Few know the story about the\u00a0firebrand revolutionist who was a comrade in Cuban arms with Fidel Castro in a crusade that led to his eventual capture and execution by the CIA as a notorious fly-in-the-ointment career criminal. This film is now a classic, and having Garc\u00eda Bernal speaking in an Argentine accept makes it much more beautiful.<\/p>\n

3.\u00a0The Clan \/ El clan<\/em>\u00a0(2015)<\/strong>
\n\"\"<\/a>The Clan is another true story based on the book of the same title. The film portrays the story of the Puccio family during the\u00a0aftermath of\u00a0the 1976-83 dictatorship. Argentina was just beginning its period of transitional justice and society demanded answers for the thousands of cases of forced disappearances. The \u201cPuccio Clan\u201d kidnapped and killed many in the early 1980s as they were offered protection from the military for doing so.<\/p>\n

The dark tone of the movie, the precise dialogue, and\u00a0 imagery are the key elements used to recreate the most raw moments of this disturbing story. The Puccio\u2019s mix of violence and humanity elevate the model yet evil family that used their own home as a torture chamber.<\/p>\n


\n2. Wild Tales \/ Relatos salvajes (2014)
\n<\/strong><\/em>\"Wildtalesp2\"<\/a>An Academy Award Nominee, this film is an anthology of 6 different black comedies.\u00a0None have the same humor or darkness; each one is unique.<\/p>\n

1) Airplane tale:\u00a0Surrealistic story to open the series.<\/p>\n

2) Coffee shop tale:\u00a0Short and dark, makes you wonder what \u201cfreedom\u201d means for some people.<\/p>\n

3) Road tale:\u00a0Violence and humor. Life changes quickly and there is no turning back.<\/p>\n

4) Human limit tale:\u00a0A man is having a difficult week and explodes as he runs out of patience. Bureaucracy and the absurdity of \u201cthe system\u201d\u00a0drives him crazy.<\/p>\n

5) Accident tale:\u00a0A\u00a0young man\u00a0kills a pregnant woman in\u00a0a hit-and-run. His family hires the gardener to take the criminal charge in exchange for a large payout.<\/p>\n

6) Wedding tale:\u00a0This tale\u00a0will make you wonder about marriage, love, and society. Romina uncovers her groom Ariel had cheated on her, which sends her on a downward spiral.<\/p>\n

1.\u00a0The Secret in Their Eyes \/ El secreto de sus ojos\u00a0<\/em>(2009)<\/strong>
\n\"qmzeFCaer_1293384533\"<\/a>This crime thriller film is Argentina\u2019s second Academy Award Oscar winner for \u201cBest Foreign Language Film.\u201d It is a story of love, devotion, and above all, passion.\u00a0It is a buried romance between a retired judicial and a judge who\u00a0worked together 20 years beforehand. They reunite efforts to open an unsolved case, and it becomes an obsession to find the man who got away. He steps over any sane and ethical principal.<\/p>\n
