The last sentence in your review would kill any interest I'd have in watching El Perro. Did you find it "boring"? How "familiar" are you with Patagonia and its inhabitants? Is this familiarity based on more than Historias Minimas? What's the point when you write "Sorin will never make it to Hollywood_or maybe even to Sundance"? Are these destinations the promised land for filmmakers from other countries? Some could interpret the statement as meaning Sorin somehow isn't good enough. I don't think that's your intention because in Patagonia he "finds a voice a little unlike any other". El Perro toured the country last summer as part of the Latin Beat series. I wrote a brief review: El Perro. I'm glad the film is being distributed commercially although I don't know if the distribution will expand beyond the Cinema Village in NYC. Do you?
