99 - Nostalgia for the Light
from 1001 by 1 Hosted by 1001 by 1
As we began our “decade-by-decade” celebration of film, we started with an important film. Not only is that how we are ending this run of films, but we are also checking off the “Foreign Film” and “Documentary” boxes by watching Patricio Guzman’s 2010 film “Nostalgia for the Light”. This week, Adam and Ian do their best to explore what happened in Chile in 1973: the coup, Pinochet’s dictatorship, and the torture & killing of thousands of innocent people. They also discuss how Chile’s history works with the astronomical metaphors the film is presenting. Also, this week two documentaries are being recommended: Adam’s is “Boys State” (available on AppleTV+) and Ian’s is “Happy People: A Year in the Taiga” (available on Kanopy).
