GreenCine Staff Pick: Despite the fact that it focuses on the sadder aspects of the winter holiday season - namely, loneliness and suicidal impulses - Argentinian sleeper Felicidades is by no means a downer. It's one of those films with multiple-character disorder, overlapping tales with characters crossing paths but not really connecting - but this works to the film's advantage. Set during a particularly hot, muggy Christmas Eve in Buenos Aires, the films's four main characters cross paths but have no real connection: A philandering author out of gas near a nuclear power plant; a lonely doctor tries to hook up with a beautiful woman only to be detained by a manipulative paraplegic; a good-natured dentist shopping for his son's Christmas present is taken by corrupt police and forced to help them with a scheme; and a washed-up stand-up comic, stranded in the middle of nowhere. Not your ordinary Christmas movie by any means, and director Lucho Bender's touch will remind many here of a Latin Robert Altman with some elements of Jarmusch and Fellini sprinkled in for good measure. Felicidades is not only a magical, often beautiful little film, it also takes on another layer of complexity in its portrayal of Argentina's decadence and subsequent economic fall. But the film's ultimate message is one of hope and compassion, not despair. "Felicidades" (casual Argentinian for "Merry Christmas"), indeed. -- Tamara Lees
