The Blue Star (Spanish: La estrella azul) is a 2023 drama film written and directed by Javier Macipe (in his directorial debut feature) inspired by the life of Aragonese musician Mauricio Aznar which stars Pepe Lorente.

Set in the 1990s,[1] the plot follows the plight of Spanish rocker Mauricio, who leaves his band and wanders around Latin America seeking to rediscover his musical vocation.

He becomes acquainted with folk genres such as the chacarera in Santiago del Estero, and teams up with old musician Don Carlos [es].

[2][3][4] The project was born as a commission from Mauricio Aznar's mother to Javier Macipe 18 years before the theatrical release of the film.

[17] Alejandro Lingenti of La Nación rated the film 4 out of 5 stars ('very good'), writing that the fiction "intersects opportunely with the documentary to enhance the affective community that existed between the Spanish musician and his warm hosts [from Santiago del Estero]".
