Gastón Duprat and Mariano Cohn created a mix of comedy and drama with a hint of sharp humor, critiquing the human condition and taking viewers out of their comfort zone. No wonder ‘The Distinguished Citizen’ was one of the great films at the last Venice Film Festival (including Best Actor award for Oscar Martinez) and the Havana Film Festival, as well as winning multiple awards.
