Watch: Roma 2004 123movies, Full Movie Online – When journalist Manuel Cueto is hired to type novelist Joaquín Góñez’s last book, his presence provokes an avalanche of feelings that bring Joaquín to the edge of emotions and memories that had lain dormant in the solitude of the last stages of his creative life. Accustomed to years of loneliness, Joaquín finds in the young journalist a bridge to the forgotten years of his youth in the 60’s and 70’s, during his wild years in Buenos Aires. Argentina had been witness to the mistakes made in the passage to adulthood, the memories of old friends, the meaning of loyalty, the influences of cinema and jazz, the taste of first love and the experiences of the many which followed and the intimate relationship with his parents, particulary with his mother Roma, a strong, intelligent woman, a supporter of his youthful ideals. It is to Roma to whom Joaquín owes his free, bohemian spirit and the aspirations shared with her in the shadow of the memory of his father will awaken in Joaquín the desire and the impatience to recover all he had, so far, believed lost..
Plot: Joaquín Góñez, a novelist in his sixties recalls his emotions, his wild years in Buenos Aires, the memories of old friends, the meaning of loyalty and the intimate relationship with his mother, Roma.

Not that special
This movie has been called “the event of the year” in film industry and I am not sure if it is up to this statement. Of course Aristarain knows what he is doing, the cast is really good (even Botto, whom I hated in “Martin (hache)”), photography, edition. It is a very beautiful product indeed. But the plot seemed a bit weak and the pace is quite slow. I didn’t get it: if the intention was to pay homage to that great woman that Roma is, it wasn’t fair enough, it was too focused on Joaquin; if it was to tell the story of Joaquin, the I couldn’t see the point, because I don’t think it was a deep story, with any turning point; then, if Aristarain was trying to show the history of Argentina, he was quite vague and used too many time jumps. Finally, if he was trying to do all three things, he of course was being too ambitious! I’m sure a lot of people was waiting for Aristarain’s next movie. Will they be pleased? I really don’t know. Maybe he reached his peak with “Un lugar en el mundo”. What I’m quite sure about is that, if this film was the event of the year, I will be very disappointed in Argentinian film till 2005.
Intense
Few times in my life I have seen such an intense drama. Intense in the dialogues, superb in acting. The life as it is, not an idealized bit of it, as in conventional films. Characters are deep, well developed, they don’t act the standards, but seem to be much more “human” than in conventional stories. Almost every scene is a virtuoso acting near-monologue. But you have rests, including the whole Chopin nocturne’s filmed in a way that, only with the actor’s expressions, something is still happening into the characters, and the story doesn’t suffer for such a long quiet time. Yoy can save a lot of dialogs as a treasure. OK, it is not as much as an archetype of filming language. OK, it is nearly theater. But only nearly. I cannot imagine me enjoying all of the subtleties in actor’s faces from so far, in a theater. A tasty drama, full of good philosophy about life, love and feelings, expressed trough complex characters and scenes. Too bad for those who find it “slow” or “overlong”… in my opinion, they just didn’t catch it. To me is seemed pretty dense, full of things… I couldn’t stick out until the end. I didn’t like it. Just the last minute. But it is my opinion. All the rest is more than enough to make the movie a masterpiece. In my opinion.
