The film
"Argentina, 1985
" is risking the chance to be named as the best foreign film at the
Oscars
.
The film had already received the support of Lionel Messi himself, and now the coach of the winning team in Qatar,
Lionel Scaloni
, added his support with a
musical harangue
.
From his Instagram account he published a story in which he wrote:
"Enormous job. Let's go Argentina
", which added the emoticon of an arm that makes strength as a sign of approval, and tagged both
Ricardo Darín
and
Peter Lanzani
, both protagonists.
The post was also accompanied by
a very soccer and famous song
for the Argentine fans:
"Lay eggs without ceasing,
whatever it takes tonight,
tonight we have to win
."
The world of football and the world of cinema are this time linked by a thread of intentions to win.
It is that if the Selection achieved its third World Cup in history, the Argentine film art is going for the possibility of reaching the
same number in Oscar statuettes
, after those achieved by
The Official Story, in 1986 -like the Maradonian conquest in Mexico
- and
El secreto de sus ojos
, the film by Juan José Campanella that won in 2010.
And not only the two "Lioneles" of La Scaloneta spoke about it, they had already done so from other references of Latin American culture.

beautiful, exciting movie,
filmed super cool but above all it's a necessary movie! Capo @SantiagoMitre and my dear @BombitaDarin @p_lanzani who are superlatives" , he had written.
The singer from Puerto Rico,
Ricky Martin,
was another of the singers who supported the film on social networks.
In an Instagram story
he praised the film
.
Meanwhile, Luisana Lopilato's husband, the Canadian (but with an Argentine family)
Michael Bublé
, reposted the story of the Puerto Rican singer.
"I hope they can win another Oscar," he predicted.

A post shared by Santiago Miter (@sanmitre)
He did it with a post on his Instagram account in which he published a photo album of the feature film that sounds like one of the candidates in the category that rewards foreign productions.
In it, in addition to being
proud
of the praise he achieved, he also took stock of what caused the story told and especially thanked the Argentine public.
"Whatever happens, Sunday is going to be a great day for all of us who made 'Argentina, 1985'," wrote the also screenwriter hours after appearing on the red carpet - strictly speaking, this time champagne-colored - at Los Angels.
