6/10
interesting but slow in places
12 May 2005
I watched the movie while visiting Buenos Aires on a recent trip. The movie provides significant insight into WW2 relationship between Argentina – Germany – Vatican … yes, that's right, the Vatican. It provides insight into how all those Nazi war criminals ended up in Argentina. It also provides some interesting insight into the Perons. Even the famous Eva Peron comes out smelling less than rosy. While the content was very enlightening, the pacing of the movie was very poor. It seemed that they rehashed many of the principal points continually. I think a couple of small edits could have improved the pacing significantly. I would still recommend watching the movie, as it is fascinating in parts and the ending is shocking, disturbing and disgusting all at once.

For a more dramatic insight into more recent Argentinean politics, you may also want to watch "La Historia Oficial" (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0089276/).
