Nostalgia For the Light (Patricio Guzman, 2010)

8.5/10
A really interesting, original documentary dealing with questions of astronomy, the Chilean desert, and the Pinochet regime. Telling how director Patricio Guzman pulls these disparate elements together in a coherant way would be taking away some of the magic, so I'll leave it up to you to go see it (preferably on the big screen, for the jaw-dropping astronomical shots). I have no idea how Guzman even conceived of such a project but thank god he did. Immensely enjoying.
