In his dual role as director and screenwriter, he built an essential filmography that spans from the impact of Eva Perón and 'El Polaquito' to key titles such as 'El desquite', 'En retirada', 'La búsqueda', and 'Al filo de la ley'. According to confirmation from the Argentine News Agency, his last public appearance took place last Wednesday, February 4, during the presentation of the National Audiovisual Space to lawmakers. 'Active since the sixties, he began as the director of photography for the most outstanding Argentine films of a consecrating era,' the entity expressed. 'His mere mention is enough to understand the importance and variety of styles that his filmmakers represent and the historical significance of these works, whose images, as diverse as they are fundamental, in common offer the cinematographic expertise of this dear friend and constant companion of DAC, prodigious in his task and firm in his struggle,' they wrote. Established as an indisputable visual reference, he signed the cinematography for the most transcendent Argentine films for over two decades, such as 'La hora de los hornos', 'Juan Moreira', 'El muerto', 'Los pasajeros del jardín', 'The Players vs. Ángeles Caídos', 'Crónica de una señora', 'Los gauchos judíos', 'La Tregua', 'No toquen a la nena', and 'El infierno tan temido'. From 1983 onwards, Desanzo became one of the central signatures of national cinema. Buenos Aires, February 17 (NA) – The renowned director and screenwriter Juan Carlos Desanzo died at the age of 88, as confirmed by the Argentine Directors of Cinema (DAC) through a publication on their social networks. 'National cinema as a whole suffers the irreparable loss of JUAN CARLOS DESANZO, one of its greatest authors. In what was his last act of rebellion, the director took the floor to reveal, with a touch of irony, that the person who fervently supported his project 'Eva Perón' was the current deputy Patricia Bullrich.'
