camille l Malgré une ouverture très Michael Moorienne où une journaliste se ridiculise en direct en confondant deux termes qui n'ont rien à voir, South of the Border n'est pas un très grand documentaire. En effet, après des films pourtant très modérés sur JFK, Nixon et W. Bush, Oliver Stone oublie d'incorporer à cette hagiographie d'Hugo Chavez la retenue qu'on lui oublie souvent. A cause de cela, South of the Border est plus long qu'intéressant et seule Cristina Kirchner a des choses vraiment intéressantes à dire. Il n'y a même plus la radicalité technique de Comandante pour vanter quelque vertu cinématographique.

Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Audience Member Oliver Stone explores the current Bolivarian Revolution that is sweeping across South America. A good documentary but he fails to answer the regions notorious human rights vitiations. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review Audience Member This is an awesome documentary. Highly recommended. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Audience Member It's engaging but Stone spends too much time asking the obvious--at least he lets the leaders speak. It's not Errol Morris but it's not Michael Moore at his worst, either, it's simply a good movie if one is interested but knows little of past American relations with their "friends" to the south. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/14/23 Full Review Audience Member If you can get past the annoying translators speaking english behind the backs of some very powerful south american leaders and Oliver Stones penchant for smoosing them during his interviews it does portray a side that is not covered by the worlds media which depicts his subjects as dictators. It's useful to see these men and women shown in a different light and the fact that they are articulate in their answers.
