Elvis Presley está em Buenos Aires

Sylvia Colombo

“O Último Elvis”, primeiro filme de Armando Bo, que abriu o último festival de cinema independente de Buenos Aires e esteve na seleção de Sundance, começa como uma comédia banal, mas termina por questionar as ilusões mais comuns de todos nós.

Carlos Gutierrez (John Mc Inerny) é um operário de uma fábrica da periferia de Buenos Aires. Gordo, mal-cuidado, sem muitos recursos, separado e pai de uma filha com quem tem dificuldades de se relacionar, parece levar uma vida medíocre. Se não fosse por um grande sonho, uma realidade paralela onde é feliz.

À noite, penteia as costeletas, veste um macacão branco com detalhes dourados e canta lindamente o repertório de Elvis Presley. Sim, Gutierrez é um “cover”, talvez o melhor do ídolo de Memphis surgido no Cone Sul. Se apresenta em bingos, cassinos, festas de clubes e até em asilos para idosos. Seu Elvis não é o Elvis galã do começo da carreira e dos filmes de aventura. Mas sim o Elvis gordo, destruído pelos vícios. O Elvis do fim da vida, mas que canta como nunca.

Aos poucos, porém, a graça inicial vai desaparecendo e o drama se impõe. A ex-mulher sofre um acidente e ele tem de cuidar da filha, cujo nome, não por acaso, é Lisa Marie.

A menina o acompanha em seu estranho dia a dia. Tem de comer sanduíches de pasta de amendoim com banana, como fazia o ídolo, ou passar horas na frente da televisão vendo a única coisa que o pai tem em casa: gravações de suas apresentações históricas. Também o acompanha nos shows em clubes suburbanos.

Aos poucos, Lisa Marie o força a olhar para seu próprio delírio, ao mesmo tempo em que se identifica com o que há de infantil e romântico no comportamento do pai.

Armando Bo, neto de um diretor famoso, é também roteirista de “Biutiful”, de Alejandro González Iñarritú (“Amores Perros”). Em “O Último Elvis” oferece um retrato vívido e colorido de uma ilusão, ambientado num subúrbio que surge decadente e charmoso.

Depois do sucesso no festival portenho, “O Último Elvis” está agora em cartaz no circuito comercial do país. As filas para vê-lo ganham das da nova versão de “Titanic” e outros blockbusters.

Esta é a Argentina, do bom cinema nacional com excelente público e que, apesar de local, faz perguntas essenciais e internacionais.

Cancerous cellular material form inside the mesothelium, which is a protective lining that covers almost all of the body’s body organs.

  30. Thanks for your publication. One other thing is that often individual American states have their unique laws in which affect home owners, which makes it very, very hard for the the legislature to come up with a brand new set of recommendations concerning foreclosure on people. The problem is that a state features own legal guidelines which may interact in an unwanted manner in terms of foreclosure insurance plans.
