Awards season picks up speed as it draws to a close, and as we rush through homework going through the list of nominees, favorite movies, and the 2023 Oscars date, Pedro Pascal and Leo Messi support ‘Argentina 1985’ at the Oscars 2023.

“What a great film ‘Argentina, 1985′”, says Leo Messi, national hero. “Let’s go for the third!”

Lionel is not confused, It is the eighth time that Argentina has opted for the now-known Oscar for best international film, having won twice: the first with ‘La historia oficial’ (Luis Puenzo, 1985), a drama set in the last years of the military dictatorship; and the second for ‘El secreto de la ojos de él’ (Juan José Campanella, 2009), the essential thriller with Ricardo Darín that is, without a doubt, one of our best suspense and mystery films that you have to see.

As if Messi’s support was not enough, his message has been shared by Pedro Pascal, the actor of Chilean origin who, right now, leads the list of the best series on HBO Max for his Joel in ‘The Last of Us’ and As soon as it’s over, it will do the same among the best recent series on Disney+ with the long-awaited season 3 of ‘The Mandalorian’.

“Santiago Miter (‘La cordillera’) brings together the entire staff of Argentine cinema to make a heartfelt exercise of consecration to historical memory“, explains Mariona Borrull in our review of ‘Argentina, 1985’. “Miter activates all the levers of the exciting cinema, including a tear-jerking monologue from the great Laura Paredes, so that the horror is unequivocal. In times of oblivion and regression, perhaps we need all the hype and cymbal to clear up the doubt about truths that are still denied to us today.”
