Urgent and gripping, Chile ’76 is a sharp, Alan J. Pakula-like political thriller. agracru's review:
Decades after his death, Alfred Hitchcock’s name is still instinctively used to describe taut political thrillers like Manuela Martelli’s feature debut,.
Successful or not, serious or not, government-backed or not, moments like January 6th should echo through the hearts and minds of Martelli’s viewers when they sit down for. It’s a warning shot across the bow: Beware, or be under the thumb of a brutal dictatorship. Carmen , Martelli’s protagonist, lives that way, though she tries not to think about it.
Martelli doesn’t show her face. We get to know what’s happening; we don’t get to see who it’s happening to, and we never learn why. Carmen doesn’t ignore the incident, per se, but she keeps her innermost feelings about it to herself.
Martelli’s camera, coolly steered by Soledad Rodríguez, stays at Küppenheim’s side. In shot after shot, her face is the subject; Küppenheim invests Carmen with a placid, dignified expressive range, but carefully betrays the character’s emotions the more time she spends with Elías and comes to know him. Politics aren’t her pastime or passion. Big deal.
