ManiakJiggy This is How Movies Should Be Made

Smartorhypo Highly Overrated But Still Good

Invaderbank The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

Guillelmina The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

psicodelicopsicopata Cichonga is great! It is an exercise in creative freedom and true cinematic anarchy. This is a low budget film, yes, but is in that limitation that Cichonga finds its strength. Pure ingenuity and raw visual wit, Cichonga is a guerrilla movie, filmed macho style, but with great visual intelligence and unbridled narrative. Pure talent!Yes, I liked Cichonga. It has the logic of a video game, and the fast pace of Crank (2006), if Crank would have been filmed in La Matanza (Buenos Aires, Argentina) by a Robert Rodriguez on acid. Cichonga is one of the most entertaining and heartfelt experiences of the year. It's a good movie AND its has a heart (something very rare nowadays). I like movies ​​with heart and if it's good cinema, as Cichonga, so very much better.

quaquaque When I went to BARS festival in Buenos Aires to see this movie, a few minutes before the beginning the Director (one of them) Esteban Rojas said ¨this movie was made in a few days, between takes from another movie, just for the BARS festival and basically for fun¨ enough said, because the results are really lame, a simple and almost childish story - nothing wrong with that - told without any trace of even remote creativity or laughing moments, trying desperately to be fun and stealing almost everything from the Tarantino and Rodriguez movies, but failing miserably... Overacting as a standard, the cast of "actors" try to get over with a script full of eructs, farts, vomit, urine, one location more dirty and grouse than the other, but all of this i'ts so funny, right? like the rival of Cichonga: Mr Pancho... because he likes to eat panchos!!! so funny!!! and Dr Loco... my God this is so smart!! Anyway, this piece of garbage last 65 minutes and believe me it was soo long and boring, please Esteban Rojas hide this pile of crap that you and your drunk partners did in your spare time and pay a little respect to the BARS festival...

codigomorton I laughed a lot during the screening of this weird, short and funny movie with practically no dialog. The story doesn't need it, because the body language and sounds than the characters do, explain all the situations successfully.Cichonga it's a tough war veteran that, because an incident that we don't know anything about it (maybe sequels of his war scars), is brought back to life by a mad doctor, and now needs to drink beer all the time to stay alive. To optimize this process, he keeps a servant doing an special beer branded with his name. When the evil Mr. Pancho steals a lot of bottles full of Cichonga's beer, our anti-hero begins a quest to recover his elixir and defeat his nemesis once for all. The film have some special moments that appears like some sort of intermissions (faux commercials and trailers) and it's impossible not to laugh with them. The back-story between Cichonga and Mr. Pancho before their rivalry it's surprising and daring.Cichonga takes many video games references like the camera resembling an FPS, enemies than disappear when dying and they respawn later, and even a map a la GTA.This movie is a love letter to drinking beer, the violence in American cinema, film grain, independent films and of course, and again, drinking alcohol: 'the cause and the solution of all the problems in life'.We want a sequel!
