The Parrot and the Swan (2013)

El loro y el cisne
2013 | ArgentinaAlejo Moguillansky★★★★

Alejo Moguillansky's disarmingly playful The Parrot and the Swan is an Altmanesque comedy about dance and film-making that slowly morphs into something more intimate and affecting, featuring enjoyably odd formal choices, amusing filmic references, and pleasing low-key performances.

"In his new film, Alejo Moguillansky baldly and skillfully articulates the world of dance –specifically, the shooting of a documentary about a series of ballets– with the story of a break-up and a romance." Mubi
