Absolutely amazing

This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama

Having only seen "Valentin", directed by Alejandro Agresti, we had high hopes for this film, which was completed before this one. Mr. Agresti shows he knows what he is doing in adapting Pedro Mairal's novel to the screen.We are taken to the small town in the interior of Argentina to meet Daniel, a young man who is bored with his job at the chicken processing plant where he works, and with his life. He is always late, and his boss lets him know. The highlight of his existence is watching a television program where Sabrina Love, a porn star, invites her viewers to enter a contest to spend a night with her, selected from the best letter she receives about what the winner would like to do with her. Daniel's parents have been killed in a tragic accident when the truck they used for the business suffers an accident.Daniel is the winner! He has little money and must travel far in order to receive his prize. We watch him on the road that also involves swimming from one of the boats that traverse a big river. Along the way, he meets a few people, like the hoodlums that terrorize him and take his money. He also encounters a kind trucker who advises him on having safe sex and gives him condoms. Also, Carmelo, an unemployed man who befriends him and tells him about the perils of the big city.Daniel has a brother in Buenos Aires. Enrique, is gay, and lives with a woman photographer, as her assistant. Daniel has not told Enrique about their parents' death. When he finally gets to meet Sabrina Love, he is in a state of bliss, although his involvement with her will be short lived. In the end, in spite of having had his first sexual experience, Daniel feels lost within Buenos Aires and decides the city is not for him. In the process, Daniel learns a lot about himself and the world outside his little town.Tomas Fonzi is wonderful as Daniel, the young guy who grows up suddenly after he takes a trip of discovery. Cecilia Roth makes another excellent appearance in this film. Fabian Bena, who plays the gay Enrique, is also good. Mario Paolucci, is Carmelo. Giancarlo Giannini and Norma Aleandro have small parts in the film.Alejandro Agresti shows he had a vision in bringing all the elements together in this winning film.

The main reason for me to watch Sabrina Love was the presence of Cecilia Roth. Cecilia is one of the best Argentinian actresses ever, and one of the more famous too. Every time I see his name among the cast of any movie I go and watch it. And so I did with Una Noche Con Sabrina Love (One Night With Sabrina Love). "Una Noche.." contains most of latest Argentinian cinema's keys: lost of dialogues, voices over, reflections on life, and freshness. The story is quite simple: Daniel, a young boy from the country (Tomas Fonzi) dreams of meeting his favourite porn star: Sabrina Love (Cecilia Roth). Thanks to some TV contest he finally makes his dream come true: he'll spend a whole night with Sabrina Love. From the moment he wins the contest on we'll witness all the penalties he has to go through to get to Buenos Aires (he's from the inner side of Argentina, he has to travel more than 300 miles, and he's got no money). As you can see the story itself is not that original (as in the most of Argentinian latest movies), but the dialogues and the reflections are something else. Daniel's conflicts and doubts are the main points of "Una Noche...", and maybe you'll identify with some of them.As for the actors: we got Cecilia Roth and Norma Alenadro, which are two of the more well-known Argentinian actresses; Giancarlo Giannini, one of the most international Italian performers; and Tomas Fonzi, the promising starring of this film. If you like "Una Noche..." I recommend that you give a chance to "No Sabe/No Contesta", "9 Reinas", "El mismo amour, la misma lluvia", or "Kamchatka". There's something going' on in Argentinian cinema. My rate: 6/10

The story tells the adventure of Daniel Montero, a 17 years old boy who lives in a small town and went to Buenos Aires (The big capital city) after winning a TV contest. The prize is to spend a love night with Sabrina Love, a porn star.

The film offers a glimpse into the life of a small town teenager: his routine, ideals, friends & family, and his ultimate fantasy. It also presents the striking differences in Argentina between its dominating capital (where about one third the population of this huge country lives & controls everything) and the rest of the country. Additionally, it is an excellent vehicle for Cecilia Roth (ALL ABOUT MY MOTHER), as the much-desired Sabrina Love.Daniel Montero, a seventeen year old, he enjoys his nocturnal rite: to watch the program of the ultimate porn star. So, when he wins the contest to spend a night with Sabrina, he feels he has struck gold. Sabrina awaits him in her TV studio in Buenos Aires. Daniel starts his journey from the isolated town where he lives with his grandmother since his parents died. His life is boring; he has a disgusting job. In his journey, Daniel discovers the world and finds himself in a hazardous and eventful life, with a gallery of men helping him to grow through wisdom, and mischievous advice & lies, a young woman who seduces him, and of course Sabrina, her producers and her colleagues in the porn industry.It's a fascinating look at many aspects of a teenager's life, and self-discovery in this new era in South America. Also for Ms. Roth, the international award-winning actress known for very heavy dramatic roles, this film is a complete about face. She proves to be just as adept in comedy as she is in drama.
