Kilómetro 111 is a surprising film, given the time at which it was made. On watching it today, more than 70 years on, we have the feeling that this film hasn’t aged and, on the contrary, remains extremely modern. It displays great cinematic intelligence, in spite of the moral that emerges from it. With its sober language and superb performances, the film describes a pathetic, tragi-comic, ill-fated and topical reality, along with a struggle lost before it begins. In my opinion, Kilómetro 111 is a landmark in Argentinian cinema.
