Funny Dirty Little War

"This astute an ironic film paints quite a different picture from "Evita". A brilliant mixture of farce and tragedy." -New York Times

A savage black comedy about a small revolution that breaks out in a quiet Argentine village, when a local Peronist politician claims a municipal clerk is a Communist. What follows is a slapstick war with a serious message. While its political content is especially relevant to understanding the social and psychological sources of dictatorships, its harsh comic truth about human folly has universal significance.
