Nostalgia de la Luz

Somos los leprosos de Chile.

The Atacama desert in northern Chile is the driest desert on earth. For it is one of the water and driest areas of the world, which attracts both the most extensive absence of any life for himself. We see no plants, no lizards - not even insects. The only life that is sometimes found in the Atacama desert, the remains of the desaparecidos, the disappeared. Some 1,500 Chileans disappeared, according to Amnesty International alone in 1973, the year when General Augusto Pinochet seized power in Chile. In the same year, 75 political opponents have been executed in the Atacama desert, a total of Pinochet's regime more than 3,000 murders last set.

who now travels to the Atacama desert, will probably be on the way to the Paranal Observatory, respectively, to one of the other observatories, which are based here. Or is he the old stone engravings examined by pre-Columbian Indians. Sometimes you see some seniors, who jump armed with spades through the desolate desert and semi-weary resignation with Movements of the dry soil for the bones of missing relatives ransack. All three parties will embark on a historical journey into the past, whether astronomer Gaspar, Lautaro archaeologist or the 70-year-old Violet, a researcher for the human remains of her brother, Jose.

creates in his essay-documentary Nostalgia de la Luz Patricio Guzmán it sent all three acts to interweave. Here, especially the astronomical, historical and political component to the fore. For the calcium in the human bones found in the stars. In this respect, the link between the calcium of the bones of the desaparecidos in the soil of the Atacama desert with an eye to the stars by those to be found in that same desert observatories almost something harmonious. But where Gaspar can talk with inspiring words about his craft, can be found in Violeta's voice only pain and sorrow.

your story and that of other family members, indicate that since the late eighties on the fate of the desaparecidos in the Atacama desert, is so poignant and heartbreaking as it probably seldom seen on screen. The fate of these women who are husbands, brothers and sons have been robbed, oppressed. Guzmán constant change between the plots is smoother, almost disturbing, even if Nostalgia de la Luz has a common thread that holds together the film managed to construct. Yet neither produce nor Gaspar Lautaros versions even close to as much excitement, emotion and participation of the audience as Pinochet's sad legacy.

explained at the beginning astronomer Gaspar very successful theory of the time of Augustine, according to the present do not in themselves, but always and immediately goes into the transient. The efforts of Guzmán cinematic journey into the past - The full circle later, when Violeta Gaspar observatory itself the gaze at the stars dare - is convincing in principle, but can not help you to recognize the potential of the Desaparecidos as a large wound-drama, and thus the ultimate limit of that history as a to be regretted by many. As essayistic product and socio-political and scientific symbiosis Nostalgia de la Luz deals, in order.
