Does someone remember that project of L贸pez Rega鈥檚 which, in 1975, thought up the construction of a Great Homeland Altar where all mythical figures of Argentine history could be in the same building? From San Mart铆n to Per贸n on his pinto horse. From the Billiken stamps of our childhood to Libertad Leblanc鈥檚 tits of our teenage years. All clich茅s of Argentine-ness gathered under one roof. But the construction delays. Workers entertain themselves with their own masturbatory drives. Or is it that Argentina is an impossibie construction? Always about to begin. always displaying great projects, great plans that never come to fruition. A second-rate country that hides its fundamental vacuity behind monuments. in Acha鈥檚 cinema, second-rateness is exposed, shown in all its lying pomposity.
