La Leyenda (2008), a.k.a. The Legend (2008), is a really weird DVD. First of all, the synopsis on the back of the case has absolutely not the slightest connection with this movie at all. True, the photos are those of the stars, Pablo Rago as young Milliardi, Benjamin Rojas as his stop-at-nothing rival, and the lovely Leonora Rojas as the girl in between. The credits, however, are not those of this movie either. It was actually directed (masterfully too!) by Sebastián Pivotto, not by Eric Brevig, from a cleverly twisting script by Alejandro Ocón and Chavo D'Emilio, not by Michael Wess, Mark Levin and some indecipherable Jemmifer (Jennifer?) Flaciett (?). So it's actually not a film noir – as the DVD promised – but a racing car picture, but far and away superior to any that Elvis Presley ever made. Admittedly, I'm not a fan of the Presley meanwhile-back-in-the-nice-comfortable-studio oeuvre but this is really gritty stuff. Looks like the real thing. Exciting too!
