Argentina Ricardo Darin, Jeremie Renier
Well-produced story of the trials of two priests. long-time friends, who are trying to make a difference in a notorious Buenos Ares slum. Apparently shot on location with many excellent steadicam tracking shots through the warren of hovels that had originally been built to be latin America's largest hospital. The project was abandoned so the poor moved in.
Nothing particularly new or fresh here (see one slum you've seen them all) but the actors were first rate and every element of the film was slick and professional. The problematic love story was handled with restraint and grace...except for an unfortunate over-extended sex scene.
Solid social-issue film.
