He's a French B-movie actor who only got fan-mail from Argentina. Sick of having almost no fans and reading the bad reviews, he's delighted with all that positive attention and therefor has decided to pay them a visit. I guess most of you know already know where the title comes from, but for those who didn't get it yet: The title of this movie refers to the movies that are edited and shown backwards, upside down and in the wrong order.
That's how the movie "Gone with the Wind" must have become "Wind with the Gone". And watching these weird movies not only gives this film an extra and more original touch, it certainly adds to the comedy of this movie as well, although it has to be said that the actors did a very nice job too. Even though I never heard of most of them, I really liked their acting.
They proved that they can play a more comical role, but that they are able to handle drama at the same time as well, which is not always within the potential of every actor. The fact that the actors had some nice characters and an interesting story to work with definitely helped as well of course. One of the most hilarious characters is the man who 'invents' all kinds of theories and then goes to the big city to promote them. He and all the people of the village are convinced of his greatness and the fact that he'll bring a lot of richness to the village, but don't know that all these theories already exist for years.
But as I already said, the movie is more than just a comedy. It also offers some very good drama. Not only do these people behave in an abnormal way, they also get involved in the Argentinian dictatorship. Even though you don't get to see anything of it, you'll find out that the 'inventor' has been tortured for his believes.
This way the movie gets a more social and political perspective in which the director tries to tell us that the regime certainly wasn't a laughing matter. Next to that, the introduction of television in their village only seems a piece of cake. If you are interested in a movie that offers some social criticism, next to some fine comedy, some very good acting, a nice story and some wonderful images, than this is certainly a movie you shouldn't miss.
I knew one Cuban and several Brazilian movies before seeing this one, but never had I heard of an Argentinian one. After seeing this film, I really look forward to the next Argentinian movie and I hope it will be at least as good as this one. Perhaps not everything was as perfect as it should be, but in the end it still worked and that's why I give it a score somewhere in between a 7.
