Pajarito Gómez (1965)

"Pajarito" Gómez is a music sensation and public persona sculpted by a record label: a rags-to-riches tale of a talented, virtuous small-town boy. Yet, beneath the surface, Pajarito grapples with darkness—alcoholism and a strained relationship with his mother. This Argentine masterpiece offers a biting critique of mass culture and the entertainment industry, earning its status as one of the nation's finest films, in a satirical journey through the highs and lows of popular artistic culture.
