Amazon's first original film from Argentina is that country's Oscar submission: 'Argentina, 1985.'
— but the humor of everyday life is evident throughout. And the absurdity of the task occasionally gets well-earned laughs, as when Strassera and a confidant are trying to think of veteran lawyers to recruit to their cause, only to realize how many of them side with the fascists they’re trying to convict:"... No, fascist. Super-fascist.
Failing to recruit big names, Strassera is helped by group of young lawyers who join for different reasons, including his main ally,. These characters, again, come across as explored humans, helping us root for them . Apart from the moving testimonies of surviving victims, the movie’s power comes from the desperate needs for justice and to prevent this authoritarian, terrorist scourge from ever taking hold again. The opening crawl informs us that Argentina had suffered vacillations between democratic governments and military coups for 50 years before the story begins.
Strassera and his team are tasked with facing down not only those who would violently discard the law in the name of “patriotism” but also those who would later defend those actions. The prosecutor tells the court and the country: “This is our opportunity; it may be the last one.”
