Rom%C3%A1ntico (film)

Romntico is a 2005 documentary film directed by Mark Becker.

Slant Magazine offered in 2006 that Romntico might be the documentary of the year, in that its sensitively detailed surveillance of one mans personal misfortune illuminates a national crisis. They favorably compared it with Carlos Reygadas Battle in Heaven in that both films deal with the same social circle and maintain a vigilant aesthetic. In revisiting the film in 2010, they offered that the film was a welldone character study that could teach a lot about how someone else thinks and experiences the world.The New York Times wrote that Romntico was a sympathetic portrait of Carmelo Muiz Snchez, an illegal Mexican immigrant living in San Francisco who, after scuffling for three years as a mariachi musician, returns home to care for his ailing mother. They found the film to be representative of the stories of countless illegal immigrants who are a struggling shadow population that is all but invisible in the United States. ........
