Movie Haiku:DEAD FROM THE PAIN--Argentine satire starring Pinto as an aging bureaucratic who becomes a one day news sensation when he has his "I''m mad as Hell & I''m not going to take it anymore" moment. Quick-witted & amusing, we suspect it''s also chockfull of sly local references but universal enough to recommend in any language.
