Line of Events
A girl’s gift for narrating the events of Hollywood movies transforms her family’s fortunes in rural Chile in the 1960s. Narrates Odavde do vječnosti (1953). Screened at the Toronto International Film Festival, this film is both an homage to American Westerns and an exploration of the power of cinema/storytelling to transform life. Subtitled in Spanish, the characters are drawn from life, and a rather difficult life at that. Set in “the driest place on earth,” the community is not unhappy. There’s plenty of room for gentle comedy and young love. The camera swerves away from the actual violence, but not from the story, which is frankly concerned with what goes on behind the scenes in the town, set in a saltpeter desert for the young woman at the center of the story. The film was shot on location in an abandoned mining town, which only adds to the variety.
