The Music Critic Poster

Aleksey Igudesman has created a sardonic mix of the most evil music critiques of the last centuries written about some of the greatest works of music. Equipped with a frivolous potpourri of musical insults, John Malkovich slips into the role of the evil critic who believes the music of Beethoven, Chopin, Prokofiev to be weary and dreary.

Introduction
The Music Critic is a 2018 Argentine-Spanish comedy movie directed by Gastón Duprat and Mariano Cohn. The film follows the life of a prominent music critic called Lucio Bordenave.

Plot Overview
The Music Critic unfolds the life of Lucio Bordenave, remarkably played by the Argentine actor Dario Grandinetti, who is a devoted however certainly negative music critic. Living his life through lenses of criticism and judgment, Lucio's interaction with the world is mainly reactionary to the variety of music he is exposed to.

Dispute and Rising Action
Lucio's professional life clashes initially with his personal life as he interacts with his ex-wife and his teenage daughter, Vera. When his daughter brings house a recently established rap artist sweetheart, Lucio's disdain for modern music clashes with his personal life generating a source of conflict. This is the point where his life begins to unravel, and he starts questioning his judgments about music.

Lucio's Transformation
A crucial juncture takes place when Lucio meets an artist who can't hear the music he produces. This interaction causes Lucio to reassess his criticisms, biases, and understanding of music entirely. This improvement starts to recover his relationships and reignites his love for music outside the world of criticism.

Climax and Resolution
The stress in the movie continues up until Vera welcomes her dad to among her partner's rap shows - a category that Lucio has actually barely shown any respect for. Skeptical, he hesitantly participates in but is surprisingly moved by the efficiencies. He starts to value, engage, and comprehend the essence of music for what it is beyond his traditional understandings. This experience humanizes him and starts his journey towards apologizing with his relationships.

Conclusion
The Music Critic takes audiences through Lucio's transformation journey, demonstrating how one's occupation can eclipse individual life and toxin relationships. Duprat and Cohn intertwine comedy with a deep, sophisticated storyline that brings to the surface hidden truths of the life of a music critic. This movie uses the audience a fresh perspective on the world of music criticism, standard classical music, contemporary music, and the power of music to link, stimulate emotions, and initiate change.

In conclusion, The Music Critic is an interesting storyline about the intimate relationship in between music and life, a critic's journey to re-discover his love for music, and the consequences of individual bias in the professional world. The movie is an outstanding expedition of how a person's profession and passion can deeply influence their relationships and perspective on life.
