  1. THE PINOCHET CASE
  1. (LE CAS PINOCHET)
  2. 2001, Patricio Guzmán, Chile, 110 min.

“A beautifully layered mosaic…has the stomach-knotting suspense of a legal thriller.”
—Stephen Holden, The New York Times

This extraordinary documentary has been compared by critics to THE SORROW AND THE PITY, SHOAH, and Guzmán’s own monumental THE BATTLE OF CHILE. It recounts a different but equally compelling battle that took place 25 years after Gen. Augusto Pinochet’s rise to dictatorial power. In 1998, while vacationing in London, the comfortably retired dictator was arrested for crimes against humanity. Counterpointing the convoluted legal and political maneuvers are the stunningly direct testimonies of the survivors of Pinochet’s terror. In English and Spanish with English subtitles. 35mm. (MR)
