The Man Who Loved UFOs () is a 2024 Argentine absurdist comedy-drama film directed by Diego Lerman starring Leonardo Sbaraglia.
In 1986, journalist José de Zer and cameraman Chango travel to La Candelaria (Córdoba) to report about a purported case of UFO sighting in the area, managing to turn the paltry field evidence (some burnt pastures) into a media phenomenon.
The film is a Campo Cine and Bicho Films production.
The film premiered in the official competition lineup of the 72nd San Sebastián International Film Festival on 24 September 2024, vying for the Golden Shell. It was released theatrically in Argentina on 26 September 2024, followed by a 18 October 2024 streaming debut on Netflix.
Jonathan Romney of ScreenDaily wrote that "everything hinges on Sbaraglia's performance as a likeable if self-serving and faintly sleazy figure" but, from a dramatic standpoint, "the film lacks bite".
