5 out of 5 stars Brilliant, Powerful, and Funny........2002-12-13

This movie made me truly appreciate the power of Latin-American cinema. It depicts the tragicomic reality behind the mentality of absolute power and paranoia. Fantastic performance by Federico Luppi as a human being, combating the mindset of a dictatorship. Please support this new company by purchasing this DVD (or others), as Condor Media / Vanguard is beginning to distribute previously hard-to-find or undeservedly little-known-yet-powerful Latin American films in the U.S.

WARNING: This DVD is not high quality. It appears as though they've simply taken a copy of the VHS and made a DVD of it. Also, it is not widescreen (it IS PAN-AND-SCAN), and the subtitles are not removable. I know, you're thinking, 'well, then, what's the point of owning the DVD.' Well, at this point, you should be thinking THIS MIGHT BE YOUR LAST OPPORTUNITY TO OWN THIS PHENOMENAL MOVIE. That's that. enjoy. an additional (more professional?) review:

"Made in 1983, this satirical action movie from Argentina gets my vote for the most politically courageous exploitation movie ever made. It's a rule of thumb that colossal state-sponsored atrocities are better treated as comedies than tragedies--in the movies, at least. Writer/director Hector Olivera hits the right note from the outset, as a small-town mayor--slandered, mysteriously, as somehow not quite peronista enough--is besieged by the full force of the polity, including tanks, bazookas, and the mobilization of the executive branch's publicists. Before you know it, this bumptious little fable has morphed into a socialist version of Assault on Precinct 13. The clincher to Funny Dirty is that Olivera keeps the tone between narrowly monitored borders: The movie seems to wander somewhere between your basic shattered-glass action flick and the Strangelovian surreal. And in the last act, when the siege ends and the dirty work begins, the film packs a solid wallop to the stomach. Incredible as it seems, Funny Dirty was made while the generals were still in power; the sheer effrontery of Olivera and his cast puts our homegrown dissident cinema to shame." (Matthew Wilder)
