My Rating

Movie Info

Roberto collects bizarre worldwide news in an album as a hobby and his acquaintance Mari has an unrequited love for him, but Roberto is always evasive. One day, Roberto sees a Chinese named Jun being expelled from a taxi while he is watching the landing of airplanes in the airport and he helps the man to stand up. Jun does not speak Spanish and shows a tattoo with an address on his arm. Roberto

Darin and Huang are an acting dream team. The film has a heartwarming core shot through with black humor, as director Sebastian Borensztein re-creates the zany calamities recorded in Roberto's scrapbooks.

It is hardly possible to suggest how involving this story becomes. One can see how it could have been a comedy, but this is no comedy.

Audience Reviews for A Chinese Tale

A delightful film that is not only hilarious but also surprisingly touching, and it never succumbs to cheap melodrama, remaining believable all the time - even with such an odd premise. Also, Ricardo Darín is excellent as always, providing the story with some very funny moments.

Super Reviewer

A simple, well written Argentinean film starring the one and only Ricardo Darin. The performances are natural, the cinematography crisp, and the story is fresh. The Chinese actor in particular is really good. It's no where near as epic as "El Secreto De Sus Ojos", but it's a fine film nonetheless.
