Product Description
Description
Patagonia is a rough land, and for 52-year-old Juan Villegas, it's even rougher. A mechanic who's just lost his job, Juan tries to make ends meet by selling hand-made knives. One day, after repairing a young woman's car, he is given a most unusual gift: a beautiful Dogo Argentino, a game hound of noble pedigree called 'Bombón'. After initially eyeing each other carefully, Juan welcomes Bombón into his life and with their budding friendship things start taking a remarkable turn for the better.

This review is from: Bombon Le Chien (DVD)
"Bombón: El Perro" (= "Bombón: the dog") is a film by Carlos Sorín, a well-known Argentine director who was also behind "Historias mínimas".The heart of this road movie is the relationship between a man and his dog. Juan (played by Juan Villegas), is an old mechanic down on his luck that was sacked and can't get a new job, due both to his age and to the economic crisis affecting the country. Everything starts to change for him when, thanks to an act of politeness, he receives a purebred Argentine Dogo as a gift. That very big white dog he didn't want at first will become his good luck charm, and eventually a reason to hope for a better future. The two unlikely friends will begin a journey thoughout the harsh but beautiful Patagonia in search of new opportunities for Coco, meeting new people along the way. I can say that I enjoyed this simple but heartwarming movie, and that I believe you are likely to appreciate it too, if you are in the mood to watch something that strikes true. Belen Alcat
