New Argentine cinema

Film critic Manohla Dargis, writing for the Los Angeles Times, calls Caetano "a leading figure in the new Argentine cinema." She notes that Caetano's first feature, the 1998 release of Pizza, Beer, Cigarettes, helped jump-start a "New Argentine Cinema."
His first full length film, Bolivia (2001) was well received by film critics. Yet, it took three years to produce the film due to budget constraints.
His film Chronicle of an Escape, the true story of four men who narrowly escaped death at the hands of Argentina's military death squads during the 1970s, was released in 2006. The film was a major box office success in Argentina, and was screened at the Cannes Film Festival and the Toronto Film Festival. It has won and been nominated for numerous awards.
