Pajarito Gómez is a 1965 Argentine comedy film directed by Rodolfo Kuhn. It was entered into the 15th Berlin International Film Festival. It was also selected as the Argentine entry for the Best Foreign Language Film at the 38th Academy Awards, but was not accepted as a nominee.[1] The film is a satire of the promotional machine behind the Argentine pop stars of the 1960s.[2]
In 2000, it was included in the list of The 100 Greatest Films of Argentine Cinema at number 27, after a poll conducted by the Museo del Cine Pablo Ducrós Hicken.[3] In a new version of the survey organized in 2022 by the specialized magazines La vida util, Taipei and La tierra quema, presented at the Mar del Plata International Film Festival, the film reached the 22nd position.[4]
