Living Stars is the most recent film by the directors of The Man Next Door (El hombre de al lado), which was the highly popular Opening Night Film at VLAFF 2012.

Anyone who has ever unabashedly danced to a favourite pop song in front of a bedroom mirror will appreciate the joyful raw energy of this highly entertaining documentary. In living rooms, workplaces, gardens, garages and kitchens, the residents of Buenos Aires open up their personal spaces to the audience. They film themselves rocking out to their favourite hit songs, while everything within the background—furniture, knick-knacks, clothes, pets and even other family members—paint a portrait of their lives. Quirky, uplifting and just plain fun, Living Stars seeks to celebrate the secret star in each of us.

An all-ages dance party through the kitchens, backyards and living rooms of Buenos Aires...a feel-good novelty. John DeFore, The Hollywood Reporter

Cualquiera que ha bailado sin pudor una canción favorita en frente del espejo de su habitación podrá apreciar la energía de este entretenido documental. En las salas de estar, lugares de trabajo, jardines, garajes y cocinas, los habitantes de Buenos Aires abren sus espacios personales a la audiencia. Ellos se filman bailando y disfrutando sus canciones favoritas, mientras que en el fondo sus pertenencias, mascotas e incluso otros miembros de la familia, pintan un retrato de sus vidas. Peculiar, edificante y simplemente divertido, Living Stars celebra la estrella que se esconde en cada uno de nosotros. Living Stars es la cinta más reciente de los directores de El hombre de al lado, que fue la aclamada película de apertura de VLAFF 2012.

La película es simple y aparentemente superficial, pero en realidad es un panorama profundo de la idiosincracia argentina. Andrés Duprat.
