About El verso
Between farce and grotesque, John, who has lost his job, in a collective versea values of a knife sharpener, can not against debts contracted or can with his family, wife and two kids. One day, the woman left, runs out of credit and Juan is left with only his dream of being a radio announcer.
Directed by Santiago Carlos Oves, El verso leans on a strong ensemble — Luis Brandoni, Virginia Lago, Hugo Arana — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about comedy titles of 1996.
