1976, dir. Manuela Martelli, Chile / Argentina / Qatar 2022, 95 min., Spanish with English subtitles, 15
In 1976 in Chile, Carmen heads off to her beach house to supervise its renovation. Her husband, children and grandchildren come back and forth during the winter vacation. When the family priest asks her to take care of a young man he is sheltering in secret, Carmen steps onto unexplored territories, away from the quiet life she is used to.
With this debut feature, Manuela Martelli delivers a thoughtful political drama, as well as an intense character study of a woman who questions her bourgeois lifestyle in Pinochet’s Chile.
