Among films dealing with past abuses, one German-Argentine co-production that also deserves mention is Jeanine Meerapfel's "The Girlfriend" (1988), where Norwegian leading lady Liv Ullmann is cast beside locals Federico Luppi, Cipe Lincovski, Victor Laplace and Lito Cruz. A second group of films includes portrayals of exile and homesickness, like Alberto Fischermann's "Los días de junio" ("Days in June," 1985) and Juan Jose Jusid's "Made in Argentina" (1986), as well as plots rich in subtext, like Miguel Pereira's "Verónico Cruz" (1988), Gustavo Mosquera's "Lo que vendrá" ("The Near Future", 1988) and a cult favorite, Martin Donovan's English-language "Apartment Zero" (1988). These used metaphor, life's imponderables and hints at wider socio-political issues to reconcile audiences with recent events. This can also be said of treatments of controversial literature and painful 19th century history like Maria Luisa Bemberg's "Camila" (1984), Carlos Sorin's "A King and His Movie" (1985) and Eliseo Subiela's "Man Facing Southeast" (1986). The 1990s brought another "New Argentine Cinema" wave, marked by classical cinema and a twist from Independent Argentine Production. In 1991, Marco Bechis' "Alambrado" ("Chicken Wire") was released. That same year, activist film-maker Fernando "Pino" Solanas released his third major film, "The Journey" (1992), a surreal overview of prevailing social conditions in Latin America. Existential angst continued to dominate the Argentine film agenda, however, with Eliseo Subiela's "El lado oscuro del corazon" ("Dark Side of the Heart," 1992) and Adolfo Aristarain's "A Place in the World" (1992) – notable also for its having been nominated for an Oscar. Later in the 1990s, the focus began to shift towards Argentina's mounting social problems, such as rising homelessness and crime. Alejandro Agresti's "Buenos Aires vice versa" (1996) rescued the beauty of feelings in the shadows of poverty in Buenos Aires and Bruno Stagnaro's "Pizza, Beer, and Cigarettes" (1997) looked into the human duality of even the most incorrigible and violent individuals.
