After a good day (Argentina/2024). Director: Néstor Frenkel. With Enrique Torres, Anabella del Boca, Aníbal Silveyra, Magrio González and Andrea del Boca. Production: Sofía Mora. Photography: Diego Poleri. Music: Gonzalo Córdoba. Sound: Gino Gelsi. Executive Production: Aníbal Garisto. Duration: 84 minutes.
A good day was since its commercial premiere in November 2010 and for a long time bullied to the point of being considered by some as the worst Argentine film in history. But, as happened with Plan 9 from outer space (1959), by Ed Wood, or The Room (2003), by Tommy Wiseau, after the resounding initial failure, it eventually became an object of cult and adoration by thousands of fans.
Always attentive to these popular phenomena, Néstor Frenkel takes seriously and jokingly at the same time the story of the film directed by Nicolás del Boca, written by Enrique “Quique” Torres and starring Aníbal Silveyra and Lucila Solá with the participation of Andrea of Boca, but also of everything that was generated later with an unstoppable snowball effect.
After a good day It is, yes, the portrait of the legion of fans (or Appreciation Group) of the film who have organized thousands of screenings and activities, each one more crazy and creative than the other, but above all of a family of artists that finds in Quique Torres the most fascinating character: an emigrant, a sensationalist journalist, a screenwriter of very successful soap operas with Andrea del Boca (without ever having studied a script), a snake charmer, a hustler, a divine blackmailer who moves with pure sympathy and self-confidence.
Beyond the participation of Anabella and Andrea del Boca, and Aníbal Silveyra who seems to be in another register that is much more affected and recharged, it is Torres who somehow leads the story and elevates it above the average of this type of documentaries. celebratory. Near the end, he even dares to tell the synopsis of a good nightcontinuation of A good day. Keep the party going.
