The Argentine film "Homo Argentum," starring Guillermo Francella, has become the most-watched Argentine movie of 2025, surpassing 400,000 viewers despite earlier low cinema attendance in the country. The film has sparked controversy, with public figures such as Luis Brandoni defending it by distinguishing between commercial and artistic filmmaking, while Katja Alemann and Pablo Echarri have issued critical remarks. Notably, "Homo Argentum" did not receive public funding. Amid the debate, presidential spokesperson Manuel Adorni highlighted that the National Institute of Cinema and Audiovisual Arts (INCAA) achieved a budget surplus in its first year under current management. The film's reception has generated widespread discussion in Argentine media, reflecting differing perspectives on its cultural impact.
