It's one of those movies that has a special place in my heart. I can't remember how many times I've watched it over and over again. I watched my own search and struggle in this movie when I was young. The ending of the movie affected me a lot.
The political history of Argentina is very similar to the country I live in. That's why the political issues mentioned are very familiar. I also find the main character's experiences very similar to my own. The ending of the movie is perfect and yes, the search will never end, that void inside us will never close.
If you like road movies, you need to watch this movie.

A masterpiece of a film in every aspect.
Brilliant Argentine surrealist political road movie
This Argentine surrealist political road movie by Pino Solanas is nothing less than one of the greatest achievements in cinema history. Besides politically important as part of the filmmaker's agenda against neoberal antipopular and antidemocratic prey, it is extremely innovative in the way it makes idiomatic expressions effectively happen in the story, together with amusing and intriguing allegoric characters whose very existence means different traits of Latin American endurace and identity. Besides that, it has a brilliant sarcastic text, a wonderful cinematography and art direction, and brings various parts of the continent as a single people who need to be together in order to make the utopia be turned into reality. I watched this film three times, only the second out of the big screen (precisely the only one I did not feel it as awesome, but just as good). This third time happened two decades after the first one, making me feel astonished again. Solana's masterpiece is gorgeous, beautiful both visually and in its very concept.
