1976

“This nerve-jangling noir unpicks middle-class guilt”★★★★ The Guardian

In this tense political thriller, upper class housewife Carmen (Aline Küppenheim) leaves her husband to oversee the renovations of their beach house in coastal Chile. Her remove from the paranoia of the political regime is shattered when the local priest encourages her to hide a freedom fighter. New awakenings and risky liaisons threaten her complacency and her family life.

Grindingly intense, 1976 is a stunning debut from director Manuela Martelli, finding the bruise where the personal meets the political and pressing down.
