Road map to love: Pagina 12 coverage

We had another huge break through with Latin America this week, again, with Pagina 12 picking up the story of Julio Cortazar, Carol Dunlop, and the documentary exploring their love, deaths and the famous book they'd write at the end.

They did a great job highlighting the quest here. The truth is this all started with us asking the question: what the hell is love? Why can't everyone have what these two had in their book, Autonauts of the Cosmoroute? What is so wild and different about their connection, and why is it so powerful?

A Pagina12 story with co-director Tobin Dalrymple of the new Julio Cortazar movie.

Argentina loves Cortazar: More media coverage of Julio & Carol

Last week was a huge one for Julio & Carol. With it being Julio Cortazar's anniversary AND Valentines day, we did our best to spread the word about this fantastic love story in Cortazar's home country: Argentina.

Even though you don't need to know who Cortazar is to enjoy this documentary we are making, it always helps to have a little background. And in Argentina, Cortazar is perhaps the biggest writer bar none. He's Hemingway. He's Shakespeare. Everyone owns at least one copy of Hopscotch… maybe two.

No wonder then that lots of local and international Spanish media are picking up this story. So far we've been on a few major dailies and glossy magazines. This week we are expecting a few more big pieces in Latin America.

Not to mention the +1500 Facebook fans we collected in just a few days!

It's always great to see when making a movie that there's people out there who already love what you are doing … Now, it's just a matter of taking over the *rest* of the world!

30th Anniversary of Julio Cortazar's Death

February 12, 2014 marked exactly 30 years since Julio Cortazar died in Paris. It was only a few months after he had lost Carol Dunlop, his great love, the woman he called "Osita," and traveled the world with. The woman he wrote "Autonauts of the Cosmoroute" with.

But it was Hopscotch (Rayuela) that was his most influential book. This was the book that rocked the world and changed the way we think of the modern novel.

With that, we put together this little tribute poster. 30 years later, thank you, Cronopio, for your inspiration and the work you left us.

Learn more about his last years alive, and the great love story on the road in France, in our upcomign documentary movie about Julio Cortazar and Carol Dunlop: Julio & Carol.
