对于整个拉丁美洲电影, 只有三位导演的作品让人很难取舍, 阿根廷的索南纳斯, 巴西的格劳贝尔.罗查和玻利维亚的桑吉雷斯, 这三位都是我个人最最钟爱的电影大师, 恨不得把他们的所有影片都归入这个名单......作为本诞生于拉丁美洲的民族文学风格上来说, 魔幻现实主义永远是最独特的一类, 而作为魔幻现实主义电影的大本营的阿根廷, 索南纳斯正是其中最重要的一位电影导演, 他可能是阿根廷众多电影导演中最特立独行的一位了, 无论是早期直接无情地抨击政府的纪录片还是中后期改变为委婉富有深刻讽刺和隐喻意义的剧情片, 他无时无刻不对当时年代的阿根廷政府和很多社会现实问题进行着无情讽刺, 嘲笑, 抨击和揭露, 而其影片中浓厚的超现实主义风格和隐喻的画面以及老搭挡皮亚佐拉演奏的如泣如诉的探戈音乐, 无疑使其影片成为阿根廷电影中的一棵奇葩. 85年威尼斯电影节最佳影片金狮奖, 86年凯撒奖最佳音乐等近10项国际大奖, 86年奥斯卡阿根廷官方参赛片.
