Apartment Zero (1988) (1994x24)

Udgivelsesdato: Aug 29, 1994

Next in our down south way America double-bill, we present the network premiere of Apartment Zero. A British-Argentinian co-production made in 1988. Although it came as a surprise to President Ronald Reagan that South America was not one place but a variety of places - “Hey,” he observed, after a goodwill tour, “they got all different countries down there!” - it is to his credit that he recognised this. Argentina, where Naked Tango was also set, is infinitely different from Peru or Bolivia. Highly unlike Brazil, as well. Far from being a bunch of poncho-wearing pipe-playing indigenous peoples, the Argentinians pride themselves on being of European extraction. Buenos Aires is reputed to be the most European of Latin American capitals.
