US EditionNetflix's 'The Eternaut' echoes fight against tyranny: actor Ricardo Darin
- 'The Eternaut,' directed and scripted by Bruno Stagnaro, premiered on Netflix on Wednesday and stars Argentine actor Ricardo Darin as Juan Salvo, a resistance hero battling a catastrophic snowstorm invasion in Buenos Aires.
- The series adapts a 1957-59 comic by Hector Oesterheld and Francisco Solano Lopez, whose political overtones led to Oesterheld and his family disappearing under Argentina's 1977 dictatorship.
- Darin described the heavy snow-proof costume and artificial snow sets as "very, very hard work" during 113 of 148 shooting days, and noted the storyline about ordinary people resisting a totalitarian threat resonates strongly today.
- Darin described the series as a timeless story emphasizing the power of collective effort, noting its strong relevance in today's context, and expressed his hope that it will help bolster Argentine cinema amid President Javier Milei's cuts to cultural funding.
- Reviews rated the show around 7/10, praising its slow-paced but visually striking apocalyptic story with wild twists, marking an unprecedented production in Argentine audiovisual history.
