"El Ardor" is undoubtedly well-intentioned as homage to Leone. However, it often gets bogged down in its references that it ultimately falters in its transformation into an individual piece of work.
"El Ardor," the latest film by Argentine director Pablo Fendrik hits cinemas this Friday, providing audiences with an opportunity to see a Western from a Latin American perspective.
Fendrik is the director of such films as "The Mugger," "Villa Tranquila" and has written such screenplays as "Blood Appears" and "Possible Lives." The Argentine auteur had a chance to speak with Latin Post ahead of the film's release, revealing his inspirations for the work and the greatest challenges he overcame in making it.
