On Sunday, we embark on a run of 3 Argentinian films which will give you a chance to appreciate fully some of the fine filmmaking that is, and has been for a few years now, going on in that part of the world (remember Nine Queens, Son of the Bride, La Cienaga, El Bonaerense, Familia Rodante, Whisky, The Motorcycle Diaries, La Antena, Born and Bred, all of which we've screened).
Well, three of those films have come from the creative juices of Sunday's director, Pablo Trapero: Lion's Den was a natural pick for our autumn programme when it was so much appreciated by critics and prize-giving juries around the world, and nominated for the Palme d'Or at Cannes. In fact, actress Martina Gusman attracted almost as much praise for her part in the proceedings as the director himself, winning numerous awards including the FIPRESCI Prize at Palm Springs.
