The Boss & Nothing

Just have to share my latest obsession – Mariano Cohn and Gaston Duprat’s series, ‘El Encargado’ (The Boss) and ‘Nada’ (Nothing). Apparently, this Argentine filmmaker duo has a knack for creating characters that you shouldn’t really like but somehow end up totally loving. In both of the shows, I think the tone, comedic timing and dialogues are just brilliant. Also, I can’t help but feel the filmmakers’ confidence in their storytelling. They don’t rush things or overload the plot. It’s really refreshing and inspiring to see.

I just finished ‘Nada’ and especially loved the fact that Buenos Aires feels like not just a backdrop but a living, breathing character in the story.

And the good news is they have another show called ‘Bellas Artes’ coming up in 2024. I can’t wait to see what they’ve created this time.
