Cuarteles de invierno

奥斯瓦尔多·索里亚诺(Osvaldo Soriano)，1943年出生在阿根廷首都布宜诺斯艾利斯，1997年病逝。他一生从事新闻工作，1973年开始利用业余时间从事文学创作。第一部长篇小说题为《悲伤、孤独和最后的人》，取材于美国滑稽电影和侦探小说的人物故事。 　　A tango singer has been invited to a remote city for a celebration. He finds himself in a repressive almost paranoid world immediately after getting off the train when he is stopped by military police who submit him to quick, brusque inquiry and search him. While trying to find the sponsors of the concert he is to perform he meets a gruff, garrulous boxer in a restaurant whose crudeness draws too much attention, a hobo whose expressions of political paranoia invites even more problems, and the promoter of the celebration, whose aim is not at all clear to the apolitical singer. The film is full of a uneasy kind of foreboding. The characters are a mixture of caricature and a dramatist subterfuge. It's a rich, surprisingly comic political drama with deeply satirical [even slapstick] overtones. At one climatic scene, an event staged by the town's oligarchs to promote a young army boxer, all of the musicians quickly draw out automatic weapons when the big goon of a boxer is outraged at the statements made by the oldier. It's dark scenes like this one that give the film its sinister, interesting punch. 　　Lautaro Murúa was one of the best actors in the Argentinean cinema.
