Audience Member Wasn't really my thing, but I did like it. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/11/23 Full Review Audience Member not as great as some otehr chilean films i have seen, but pretty good. Some funny characters, I love the town police chief or whoever he is, just the best more sterotypical 2/3rds world beauracrat Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/28/23 Full Review Audience Member This continues to be in my top five and is the definitive film on memory and meaning. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/18/23 Full Review Audience Member El extremo sur de Chile al servicio de una excelente historia repleta de metaforas sobre la alienacion interna y externa de un hombre en conflicto. Mucho mas que un cuento politico. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/13/23 Full Review Read all reviews
