- 1980
Ironically titled "Saint Hope," this strange, downbeat drama about a prison camp in a fictitious South American country offers no hope at all. The prison is somewhere in the middle of a desert, and it is likely that the inmates are there for political reasons. Life is dreary and goes by slowly in spite of a few attempts at escape. When the action does heat up a little, the story gets more interesting though even that promise is short-lived. Whatever his intentions, Chilean director Sebastian Alarcon is definitely not encouraging tourism to the southern half of the Americas. ~ Eleanor Mannikka, Rovi

The events surrounding the military coup which toppled the leftists Chilean government of Salvador Allende are chronicled in this Soviet docudrama. Nochi Nad Chili doesn't go deeply into the names or motives of the hidden forces which might have sponsored the coup (the CIA and IT&T had been named as perpetrators). Instead, this film confines its efforts to the main events themselves and is based on interviews with eyewitnesses, including many who resisted the takeover. ~ Clarke Fountain, Rovi

- Grigory Grigoriu, Giuli Chokhonelidze, (more)
