Elsa y Fred is a co-production of Argentina & Spain starring 2 actors, who have been & still are active in film & television, for many a year. They both have decades of experience & it shows on the screen,
China Zorilla from Argentina,87 years young is Elsa.
Manuel Alexandre from Spain, 92 years young is Fred.
This is their age this year, Thw film was made in 2005. In the movie they both are about 80 years. You completely ignore there ages, as they are ageless.
Fred moves into the apartment next to Elsa's they meet & course sine both are lonely, Fred is very introverted & Elso is very outgoing. They become vast friends & of course more than friends.
The director Marcos Carnevale who also co-wrote ( this very interesting love story of 2 seniors,) with Marcela Guerty did a superb job.
The film was made in Madrid with the ending done in Rome at the Trevi Fountain. In fact the never-to-be forgotten scene in OPEN CITY using the fountain is lovingly created.
This film was only shown in handful of theatres in 2008, & will definitely be on one of my best lists of the year,
For those that have Cinemax it is on this month, Also available with NETFLIX,. Do NOT miss this marvelous movie. The rating is PG,. the subject matter is a bit mature for children
Ratings **** (out of 4 ) 99 points (out of 100) IMDb 10 (out of 10)*
* I rarely if ever award 100 points to a movie, as you can see this ones is close. It is that good.
