EL BOTÓN DE NÁCAR
Chile, France, Spain, Switzerland
| 2015 | Patricio Guzmán
Master Chilean filmmaker Patricio Guzmán says his new film is part of a diptych with Nostalgia for the Light, his sublime 2011 documentary of remembrance that linked astronomy, archaeology, and Chile’s traumatic political history. The Pearl Button is similarly interdisciplinary. Focused at first on water and on the oceans that border his country, Guzmán soon expands his view to include the extermination of the indigenous coastal tribes of Patagonia and the countless victims of torture who were “disappeared” into watery graves during the Pinochet regime. “By turns lyrical, impressionistic and profound.” –L.A. Times.
