Audience Member Kamchatka es una película que se desarrolla en medio de la dictadura argentina, donde un abogado (Ricardo Darín) decide tomar a su esposa (Cecilia Roth) y a sus hijos al campo, para ocultarse de las persecuciones de la dictadura.. La historia es contada por el pequeño de la familia con simbología en torno al juego de mesa TEG (Risk), una serie de televisión y la familia en sí. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/23/23 Full Review Audience Member Ñoña, con ver los 10 primeros mins y los 10 mins finales, ya es más que suficiente Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member La vida en Argentina tras el Golpe militar desde el punto de vista de un niño.Algo de lo mejor del cine sudamericano Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/17/23 Full Review Audience Member Again, a great movie Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/15/23 Full Review Audience Member Y el libro es aun mejor.
