Documentaries

Some reviews about Ricardo Preve's documentaries:

​

''A very interesting documentary by Ricardo Preve...'', Catalina Dlugi, EL PORTAL DE CATALINA

​

''This story moves you to tears for many reasons, ''it has a heart'', and maybe it can be felt and valued even more because the author's voice is constantly present. Rough stories that need to be told and only a few are actually capable of getting it done.'' ESCRIBIENDO CINE

​

''A human adventure told with the precision that a good story requires, without falling into dramatic highlights and sticking to what really matters in each scene.'' REVISTA NOTICIAS

​

''Simple, melancholic and with a touching outcome, that's what Ricardo Preve's new documentary is all about, an Argentine with a good heart...''. ÁMBITO FINANCIERO

Mondovino

Mondovino is a testimony against the globalization of taste. The film pits the small "terroiristes", the defenders of the "terroir" that give the wine its local identity and its soul, against the corporate wineries more interested in promoting a brand, and charging fortunes for it, than in defending the flavors and local traditions. 

2003 / Feature film (Co-production)
