Piazzolla, the Years of the Shark
For the first time, the archives of the legendary Astor Piazzolla are opened by his son. The result is a hypnotic portrait of the composer who revolutionized Argentine music. A film about passions, art, family, and the mysteries of creation.

Reviews
Rosenfeld is an obsessive documentarian, somewhat unconventional in the sense that his works usually differ from one another, and he avoids the classic or conventional format. Here, he has had invaluable material: audio tapes and interviews with Piazzolla conducted by his daughter, Diana, along with the narrative from his other son, Daniel. And so, that voice, which had never been heard before, weaves a narrative where an autobiographical chronicle unfolds from the childhood of the author of Adiós Nonino, one that is not overly indulgent.
★★★★Pablo O. Scholz para El Clarín espectáculos.
The documentary, which reveals for the first time the private archives of the bandoneonist who revolutionized tango and popularized it worldwide, emphasizes the lesser-known facet of the talented artist, presenting never-before-told events from his life based on the private family archive.
