Soriano (1999)

흥미로운 사실

Soriano is a biographical documentary exploring the life and works of Osvaldo Soriano, author of Funny Dirty Little War, through testimonies of friends and colleagues in Argentina, France, Belgium, Germany, and Italy. The documentary includes rare 16mm footage filmed by Soriano and friends in his hometown of Tandil in the early 1960s. Part of this original footage was used by the director to reconstruct a short film as it was scripted by a young Osvaldo Soriano. The short film is now in the permanent collection of several university libraries.

Production

Soriano was the fourth feature film and first documentary by director Eduardo Montes-Bradley, who was born in Córdoba in 1960 and had lived in the United States from 1978 to 1995. His previous films — Smooth Talker, Double Obsession, and El Sekuestro — were fiction features produced in the United States.

Montes-Bradley began filming in 1997, shortly after returning to Argentina following Soriano's death on January 29 of that year. "Cuando volví al país, en 1997, quería reconciliarme con Buenos Aires, con todo lo que me había perdido desde 1978, cuando me tuve que ir. Y Soriano era la figura emblemática de los '80s," the director said. Interviews were conducted across multiple countries, including Italy, France, Belgium, and Argentina.

The documentary incorporates animation sequences created by Liliana Romero and Vicky Biagiola, as well as the reconstructed 1962 short film Un joven de nuestro tiempo, made by Soriano and a friend in Tandil.
