The closing film of Guzmán's latest trilogy looks again to his
homeland's unique geography, turning now to the Andes Mountains that
define Chile's Eastern border, protecting and seemingly isolating the
nation against the rest of the world. Tinged with rueful nostalgia,
The Cordillera of Dreams returns to Guzmán's childhood home — the
modest and remarkably still-standing house — to examine with strong
ambivalence Chile's present moment of neoliberal prosperity. A
stranger in his native land, Guzmán seeks the guidance of a group of
artists, writers and painters whose work concerns the Chilean
condition. A special place is given to the inveterate documentarian
Pablo Salas, a humble and indefatigable filmmaker whose entire career
has been spent filming protests and police repression — from the
Pinochet days to the present. Salas' work and vast archive, as well as
his unbroken commitment to the daily struggle, are offered by the film
as exemplary and as a counter-example used by Guzmán to gently
question the cost of his own exile and distance. Winner of Best
Documentary at the 2019 Cannes Film Festival, The Cordillera of Dreams
resonates deeply at a time when urgent political change seems within
reach but still so very far away.
