The summary line is some men's wet dream for the ideal woman ... ;o) Seriously though, back to the movie, which has classic cinema written all over it (pun intended and quite literally shown in the picture, too as you'll see)!

How could someone make a silent movie in this year and age? It's not completely silent for once (take the music for instance). With great cinematography is the answer. And it's no wonder that it did win prizes (as another user stated) in this area! But it's also sometimes it's downfall. Although the pictures are great, it sometimes delves too much in them instead of moving forward (plot and time wise). If you can cope with that, than you'll enjoy it even more than me. I haven't told you anything about the story, but I'll never do that, because I don't want to spoiler anything for you ...

'La Antena' has been likened to the films of Tim Burton; but while I can see a certain resemblance, Burton has never, in my opinion, directed a film as weird (or oddly, as deeply coherent) as this one. To say this is almost a silent film, almost an animated film, and almost a children's film, is to be stating obvious banalities for anyone who's seen it without getting close to what makes it so good. To observe that it is in a certain sense objectively bad, using cod-antique techniques, gets closer to the point; as times I felt as if I was watching a hybrid of a film by Guy Maddin and the 'Clangers'. But whereas Maddin can feel a little too self-conscious, the strange style of the telling of 'La Antena' feels completely of a piece with the strange world being portrayed, as if the narrative form comes naturally from the tale. However ,I will say that it's an odd film to watch with foreign language subtitles; you'll just have to watch to learn why.

A fierce criticism of the telecommunications systems and the blindness caused by the monopoly, the blind belief and the current spread of fake news, the perfect analogies, like the hope deposited in the children, the programming coming from the female sexual organ, the spirits "words" disappearing from their bodies, and nothing more satirical than talking about the power of the media voice than silent cinema, in white and black, an Argentine production so beautiful, representative and scathing... As I had never heard of this film, underestimated to the cube ... Wonderful analogy with the staunch capitalism, the monopoly, and the power of the few over all, full of meanings and symbolisms, a bold and intelligent, passionate criticism ... The use of the swastika in the scene of the singer "voice" in chains says a lot about the whole film, perfect...
