This is how "Favio: Chronicle of a Director" recaptures him, as a man of film who fed from radio, acting, music and painting in order to build up the handful of rhapsodies with which he adorned argentinean cinematography
Going through Leonardo Favio's film career means reuniting with images and sounds that built a sensibility that keeps expanding generation after generation. This documentary follows the path of a unique filmmaker by means of a scheme of voices, including that of Favio himself, with the lucidity and brutal honesty so typical of him.
