Ayer y hoy

1951 · 8 min · ★ 10.0 · Documentary

This short film is the most famous Peronist propaganda piece, most likely due to the expressionist visual power of Pappier's imagery. It is based on a poem by José María Fernández Unsaín in which a couple of workers (Fanny Navarro and Pedro Maratea) compares a past of explotation and misery with the new Argentina of Peronist social justice.

With his own money, Pappier produced this ambitious adaptation of Manuel Gálvez's "Miércoles Santo", whose release was delayed for three years due to political reasons. When it finally came out, it bombed, but its formal originality was mentioned even in unfavorable reviews. Later, it became a cursed film, impossible to see due to lack of prints. To date, it remains lost in great part.
