When I received an announcement from a Miramax publicist that started
as follows, "In a world of adults who don’t quite seem to know what
they’re doing, eight year-old Valentin (Rodrigo Noya) sets out on a
series of extraordinary missions to make his life a little better,
becoming an unexpected matchmaker, macho confidante, philosopher,
television repairman and, most of all, a spirited purveyor of hope and
wisdom to those around him," I nearly read no further. Since my
interest is in films with an explicit social or political theme, this
ostensibly modest personal drama might not have been my cup of tea. I
only decided to go after realizing that it was an Argentine film. I am
glad that I did. "Valentin" is one of the most extraordinary films I
have seen in the past 12 months.
