Harto The Borges from HFP 

Harto The Borges is a documentary film by Eduardo Montes-Bradley exploring the narcissistic side of the author, his frequent and often criticized comments to the press, his distinctive and gentle ironies. Harto The Borges had a theatrical release in Buenos Aires in September 2000, and was well received by the critics. Since then has been frequently exhibited at forums, campuses, and film festivals. On October 4, 2011, Harto The Borges was made available to the general audience in Argentina through the On Line version of Revista Cultura Ñ, (Diario Clarin) in Buenos Aires.

Dice Filmaffinity: Este documental propone una lectura crítica –lo que no es frecuente– de la obra y vida de Borges. En el documental se combinan fragmentos de una entrevista concedida por el escritor argentino, la lectura de algunos de sus textos y comentarios que hacen diferentes conocedores de su obra (Ariel Dorfman, Mempo Giardinelli, Martín Caparrós, Luis Sepúlveda, Diego Curubeto). Son abordados temas como la relación entre la política y la literatura en Borges, la forma como éste fue leído en diferentes contextos, sus ideas sobre el tango y el Martín Fierro.

Dice Eduardo Montes-Bradley: «Harto The Borges», diez años después (Revista Ñ)
