10/10

A chilean avant-garde movie.

I just saw this film on TV and I was laughing so hard at some parts (the music teacher was a total charlatan) and angry at others (Juan Carlos, I hated him)...

This is a movie that will create a lot of emotions. At some parts is almost a documentary of the time, the social problems. At others, a surreal movie.

Yes, it could be improve by remastering it. But if you left aside those problems, you would enjoy it very much. The soundtrack, by Los Jaivas, is spot on, a mixture of the Nueva Canción Chilena and the sounds of Woodstock.

The camera work is also superb and the work of Bélgica Castro is magnificent as always.

(Sorry for my English.)

Good bye maestro, I hope everybody has the opportunity of see your work.

Trivia
The film was shot in 1973 over six weeks with a budget of $170,000. It was completed just days before the military coup led by Augusto Pinochet on September 11, which overthrew the government of Salvador Allende. The film was scheduled for release on September 18, but never made it to theaters. In October of that year, a private screening was organized for influential critics and representatives of the military dictatorship. Despite assurances that the film would be released, it remained locked away due to its "political" content, nude scenes and strong language.
