帕特里西奥·古兹曼 (Patricio Guzmán) 40 多年前离开了智利,当时军事独裁政权接管了民主选举产生的政府,但他从未停止思考一个国家、一种文化,以及他从未忘记的地图上的一个地方。在《Nostalgia for the Light》中报道了北方,在《珍珠纽扣》中报道了南方之后,他的镜头近距离接触了他所谓的“智利过去和近代历史的巨大揭示脊梁”。 La Cordillera de los sueños 是一首视觉诗,一次历史探究,一篇电影散文,以及自我反省的宏伟个人练习。
Joseph Fulton, a well-regarded fifty-eight-year-old director of romantic comedies, wants to become assistant groundskeeper at a local cemetery. He wants to work outdoors and be close to nature. Meanwhile, he thinks it’s important to have his last will and testament drawn up. But his highly dramatic actress girlfriend thinks he must be dying and that he is just too brave to tell anyone. The rumor spreads and soon everyone he knows—and some he doesn’t—are crowded into his small apartment to say their last farewells.
