The differences of origin and poetics between José Martínez Suárez and Manuel Antin, representatives of the cinema of the ‘60s’ Generation, are proof of the heterogeneity of the period and, at the same time, share the creation of a renovating and personal aesthetic that observes reality with a critical eye.
José Antonio Martínez Suárez (2 October 1925 – 17 August 2019) was an Argentine film director and screenwriter. He worked on more than 20 films between 1949 and 2003. He was the brother of actresses Mirtha and Silvia Legrand.
