“Let’s see how this tastes…” Hulu has revealed the official trailer for a new streaming series called Nada, created by the Argentinian filmmakers Mariano Cohn and Gastón Duprat, who last made the fun meta film Official Competition and the series “El Encargado”. In this Argentine dramedy, Manuel is the quintessential Buenos Aires native. A food critic, aesthete, and all-around provocateur, Manuel has lived for decades with a woman who handles nearly all the tasks in his daily life. But when she passes away, everything changes – and Manuel begins to discover that he doesn’t know how to do anything for himself. “A story about culture and life, and about how a change in your routine can lead you on a surprisingly tender adventure.” Luis Brandoni stars as Manuel, and Robert De Niro makes an appearance as his old friend from New York, who joins him in Buenos Aires to walk around the city and chat. Also starring Majo Cabrera, María Rosa Fugazot, Daniel Aráoz, and Silvia Kutika. This looks like it’s as much about food and perfect cooking as it does a grumpy old man airing all his grievances. 🇦🇷 Worth a look, especially to learn about Buenos Aires.
Here’s the main official trailer (+ poster) for Hulu’s series Nada, direct from Hulu’s YouTube:
The story of Manuel (Luis Brandoni), a sophisticated culinary critic from Buenos Aires, an art lover, and a provocateur who has been living for decades with a woman who takes care of everything for him, acting as a sort of personal assistant, housekeeper, and cook. However, an exceptional event forces him to change his routine and hire Antonia (Majo Cabrera), an inexperienced young woman from a small town in Paraguay, to help him with household tasks. This is how Manuel mentors her about countless aspects of his life, from his personal relationships and preferences to culinary matters, and the clash of cultures and generations leads to unusual, contradictory, and tender situations that result in significant learning experiences for both. Amidst this process, Manuel’s old friend Vincent (Robert De Niro), a renowned New York writer, visits his house. They share many adventures together, including tasting foods, reading, long walks, and existential conversations, all set against the backdrop of the magnificent city of Buenos Aires.
Nada is series created by Argentinian filmmakers Mariano Cohn (of The Artist, 4×4, “The Heartthrob”, “Limbo”, “Horario Estelar”, “The One in Charge”) & Gastón Duprat (of The Artist, 4×4, “The Heartthrob”, “Limbo”, “Horario Estelar”, “The One in Charge”), directors of the indie hit Official Competition making fun of art house films. The series is also written by Mariano Cohn and Gastón Duprat, with Emanuel Diez. It’s produced by Metrovisión; and executive produced by Leonardo Aranguibel. Hulu will debut the Nada series streaming on Hulu / Star (in other countries) starting October 11th, 2023 this fall. Who wants to watch?
