While documenting the plight of illegal immigrants in a cinema verite      fashion, Mark Becker forgoes politicized editorials and focuses on the life of   mariachi musician Carmelo Muniz, an undocumented alien working in America and    sending cash home to his impoverished family in Mexico. By capturing the       urgent struggle of a man who lives and toils in two lands but has no real      home, the poetically intimate Romantico is meant to unite, not divide,   audiences. "A lovely, touching, moving...portrait" (A.O. Scott, New York      Times). An Official Selection at Sundance and nominated for an Independent  Spirit Award. In Spanish with English subtitles.                               Mark Becker---USA---2005---80 mins.
