Production

The film was produced by executive producer Eduardo Thau.[1] The screenplay was written by the director Mario David, based on the short story Los ojos de Celina by Bernardo Kordon.[2][3] Cinematographer Adelqui Camusso was hired to shoot the film. Víctor Proncet composed the soundtrack, while the editing was done by Oscar Pariso.[1]

Reception

The film was shot in 1975 but because the content and actors were not to the liking of the military government at the time,[4] the film was censored and blocked from release.[5] It didn't reach cinemas in Buenos Aires until 26 May 1983.[1] The film was critically acclaimed upon release, with Daniel López in La Voz del Interior labelling it "Kordon and David's remarkable speech on despotism". Hugo Paredero in Humor described the actors as "very talented, all deserving", surmising that they must have had "inner drama" to be so convincing to the camera. Jorge Miguel Couselo in Clarín described it as a "compelling movie" and stated that there are "no decorations". In their 2001 book Un diccionario de films argentinos (1930-1995), Raúl Manrupe and María Alejandra Portela were less favorable, writing: "Rural matriarchy, rustic beings and critical intention against authoritarianism, in a rather static and outdated realization".[6]
