Synopsis

(…) Featuring the same rhythm, the same relaxed capacity for adventure, and the noir touches he used in The Lion’s Share, The Disco of Love is an unavoidable party “Cachorro” would have hailed to with all the passion and ecstasy a cinephile could express. Here, there are also two sets of rivals: the cassette pirates and the one formed by a veteran private detective, his apprentice, a disc-jockey couple (the station is called El Dorado), a dumb blonde, and her protective uncle. The “issue” doesn’t matter here, and the important thing, as we all know, is “how it was made”. Aristarain has drawn from a situation similar to the first films by Richard Quine in the early Fifties, with actors in radio studios and songs, but turning it into a tribute to 1940s Warner –James Cagney included. (…) The whole clan’s entrance into the skating track, with the proper music score, is one of the most impressive scenes in Argentine film history, and it warns us about who is today our biggest working filmmaker. “Call Thomas Gómez”. “Call Adolfo Aristarain”. RT (“Don’t stop pushing, Adolfo (Call Thomas Gómez)” in El Amigo Americano #1, 1980)
