After defeating SS Rajamouli’s RRR and other contenders, Argentina, 1985, directed by Santiago Mitre, took up the Golden Globe for Best Non-English Film on Wednesday. In recent months, this highly regarded historical drama has won a number of accolades. The film has received acclaim from viewers all across the world, and this prize is just the cherry on top.
Argentina, which was released in 1983 after seven years of military rule, serves as the setting for the narrative
Argentina, which was freed in 1983 after seven years of military rule, serves as the setting for the narrative. With the election of President Raul Alfonsin, democracy was restored to the Latin American nation, and military commanders were tried in a civilian court for the first time. It centers on the worst dictatorship in Argentine history and is based on the 1985 Trial of Juntas.
Ricardo Darin, Peter Lanzani, Norman Briski, Alejandra Flechner, Santiago Armas Estevarena, Gina Mastronicola, Claudio da Passano, Alejo Garcia Pintos, and Marcelo Lopez are just a few of the outstanding actors in the cast. Mitre and Mariano Llinas wrote and directed the movie, and Javier Julia skillfully captured it on camera. Amazon Studios, La Union de Los Rios, Kenya Films, and Infinity Hill all provided funding for it.
The movie had its world premiere at the 2022 Venice International Film Festival
The movie, Argentina, 1985, had its world premiere at the 2022 Venice International Film Festival, where it also went on to win the SIGNIS Award and the FIPRESCI Award.

The prospects are fairly high because numerous additional awards are still pending.
