Charly García va a contar su historia en un documental que Netflix prepara para sus 75 años

La anuncio cae en una fecha exacta: el 23 de octubre, cuando Charly García cumple 75 años. En ese cumpleaños, Netflix informó que trabaja en un documental sobre la vida y la obra del músico, una figura que atravesó varias etapas del rock argentino, del pop y del new wave. Más allá del reclamo de la fecha, el proyecto tiene una particularidad que concentra la expectativa: no será una biografía contada desde afuera, sino un relato en el que el propio García seWILL sits frente a cámara.

El material disponible no fecha aún el estreno ni detalla cómo será la película. Sí confirma que se encuentra en etapa de producción y que la dirección estará a cargo de Alejandro Hartmann, realizador de "Carmel: ¿quién mató a María Marta?" y "El fotógrafo y el cartero: el crimen de Cabezas". La producción será de Haddock Films, compañía liderada por Vanessa Ragone y responsable de "El secreto de sus ojos",FILM laureada con el Oscar a mejor película de habla no inglesa en 2010.

Un clásico que se cuenta desde adentro

“Desde chico, Charly y su música son parte de mi vida. Retratarlo es el desafío más alucinante que puedo imaginar.”Alejandro Hartmann

Hartmann recounted que su relación con la música de García begins desde childhood. For someone who grew up with those records, the challenge of putting the story together carries a personal dimension as well. The director also said that hearing García's music "una y otra vez", even without playing it, points to the lasting presence of a classic. In his words, only "verdaderos clásicos" can achieve that effect.

“Producir un documental sobre la figura que considero más icónica de la música nacional es una oportunidad extraordinaria.”Vanessa Ragone

Ragone, who leads the company that produced the Oscar-winning film, called the opportunity extraordinary. The announcement positions Charly García not only as the subject of a new documentary but as an artist whose influence has remained present across generations. That is a strong claim, but it also establishes the emotional tone of the project: the intention is not merely to revisit a career, but to approach an icon whose music remains embedded in everyday Argentine life.

The participation of García will be central. The realizers confirmed that the musician himself will tell his story on camera. That decision could give the documentary an unusual perspective: the memory of those who witnessed the trajectory, the voice of the person who lived it and the musical archive would occupy the same narrative space. The available information does not specify which stages of his career will be covered or whether the production will include unreleased material, so those details remain open.

• The project was announced by Netflix on the occasion of Charly García's 75th birthday.
• Alejandro Hartmann will direct the documentary.
• Haddock Films, led by Vanessa Ragone, will produce it.
• García will narrate his own story on camera.
• The documentary is in production and does not yet have a confirmed release date.

For García's audience, the forthcoming title raises a specific question: which aspects of a trajectory that moved from symphonic rock to pop and new wave will be explored most deeply? The answer is not yet known. What is confirmed is the premise: Netflix is preparing a documentary that combines the perspective of the protagonist with the work of filmmakers who say they have a long-standing relationship with his music and consider him a central figure in national music. The next date, for now, is not the premiere but the 75th birthday that brought the announcement.
