The word of the protagonists of Argentina, 1985 after the delivery of the Oscars

After a lot of waiting, excitement and after winning many awards in the film industry, finally the Oscar did not arrive for Argentina, 1985. But far from sadness, its protagonists celebrated the road traveled and the success that the film has achieved since its premiere. “We are very proud of our work and of the film and that doesn’t take it away, it doesn’t demean it, on the contrary,” he said.

With a calm tone and a slight smile, the protagonist of the story told by Santiago Miter He called to assess everything that had been accomplished so far and detailed how they experienced the ceremony: “As we all experienced it, we had given ourselves a lot of control, everyone had a lot of control and it was kind of a bummer, but a great movie won. They were all part of the possibilities.

The winning film turned out to be No news at the fronta war drama from german Edward Berger. It tells the life of soldiers in the trenches during the First World War, a story based on the homonymous book written by Erich Maria Remarque, a German veteran of the Great War.

Beyond knowing that they were competing against a great film, at the start of the ceremony a small detail raised the hopes that Ricardo Darín had at that time. “The arrival of Antonio and Salma confused me a bit, because until then we knew we were wrong, but when I saw them I said: ‘Could that be it? …?’ Those who are invited to present an award have been invited for a long time. This heavy dose of Latin made me doubt, but I immediately looked to the side and saw a cameraman pointing at Berger and I said “ah no”. The camera was already ready. But everything is fine, it’s part of the game, you win or you lose”, said the actor in dialogue with TodoNoticias.

The Teutonic film had already won the BAFTAs last February, the most prestigious award ceremony in the United Kingdom. There it was established as Best Film of the Year, the most important category, and it also won six other awards such as Best Foreign Language Film (it won Argentina, 1985), Best Director (Edward Berger), Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Cinematography and Best Original Score. For this reason, given this panorama, Darín appreciates the success achieved even more: “We have done more than we could, we have made a glorious path, we have won the Goya, the Golden Globe, we have won prizes everywhere people hugged and adored the movie it’s a case where there are five left and the coin falls one way or the other That’s how it’s got to be understood and accepted and praised winners”.

Finally, the actor did not hide his disappointment at not having won the long-awaited prize – which he enjoyed in 2010 with Secreto de sus ojos – and sent a message to all Argentines who followed the ceremony: “ I feel deep in my heart the “possible” disappointment that many people in Argentina may have felt because I know how they were, but that’s how it is, you win and you lose but you also have to know how to lose. Now we appreciate the previous awards much more, because it seems like the Mecca was only the Oscars and not everything else”.

Finally also added Pierre Lanzani and he underlined the best of the experience he had had: “Sharing with friends, meeting people, chatting, talking about films, it was a very nice experience. They were all there, chatting with Spielberg, Del Toro. Have a chat with some. It was a necessary film that will continue to give a lot to say over the years and we are happy with the experience we had.
