a first trailer for Manuela Martelli’s “1976,” one of Chile –and indeed Latin America’s – most anticipated feature debuts of the year which world premieres at Cannes’ Directors’ Fortnight.
Carmen has all the accoutrements of a well-heeled middle-class wife and mother, sporting in the trailer a pearl necklace, cashmere coast and stylish shoes. She also suffers the subjugation of her gender and conservative class, being treated as a wall-flower. Appealing to Carmen’s Christian conscience – “he’s like a starving Christ,” he says in the trailer – the local priest appeals to her to help cure a young man who’s escaped from jail. Or so he says. And Carmen’s life and sense of identity changes for ever.
Martelli also multiplies signs of entrapment – in-frame framing, Carmen’s image caught in a mirror, the goldfish in a plastic bag, the heavy period decor – to catch a character who glimpses a new freedom – and ethical actionability – beyond the cloistered life of a woman of her class. Right, for me it’s an act of justice for those anonymous women who never appeared in my history school books. It all started when I asked myself about my maternal grandmother whom I never met. I wanted to revisit the year she died from the inside of a house. I felt that she was a victim of that bloodiest year and I wanted to give her and other women one space to exist.
