.” For a Chilean film to be shortlisted for both the International Feature Film and Documentary categories is unprecedented. That it is by a female director – only the second time in Chile’s history a film by a woman was submitted – is also cause for celebration.
This film is not really about a retirement home, but rather social dynamics and how society treats people, especially women. Pablo, could you talk about this because your films often talk about social malaise…. One of the complexities of the film is that the central character in what is set up as a film noir narrative rebels, comes to see his own undercover work in a new light….
Alberdi: I think there are different reasons. A simple one is what one of the characters told me once: that a person between 80 and 81 years of age is like a baby between 1 and 2 years old. In one year, you see so many changes. I tried to catch that reality and the changes they undergo. And these films make you realize that there are so many ways to live old age. It also reflects on Chile’s pension system.
And when you talk about compassion, this is the compassion that Sergio shows in the movie to other residents, treating them as individuals and realizing what pain or hurt they’ve suffered? In the case of one, he gets photos of her children so that she can still remember them as she knows she’s losing her memory, which is one of the most moving moments in the film.
Okay but will you respond to this please?
