A
LUCKY DAY is Sandra Gugliotta’s Argentinian/Italian
co-production about a girl from Buenes Aires who dreams of
following her love, a one-night stand, back to his home in
Italy to get away from the world around her.
That girl is named Elsa and she is played by Valentina
Bassi, one of those actresses who looks awkward to the
point of almost being ugly one moment and like a knockout
movie star in the next.
The movie
tries to take on the current state of Argentina, as government-determined
blackouts and other forms of inflicted poverty send mobs to
the street. But that really is the background. This is a movie about Elsa’s dreams and little else.
For the most
part, the film is much ado about very little… until the end,
when Elsa starts getting closer to her dreams and for her
effort, finds her stronger, more natural self.
