Review of Blame It on Fidel! (2006) by Patricio R — 30 Nov 2007
What an excellent movie! As a Chilean it's hard for me not to get carried away with the politics presented in the movie. I don't like Allende, nor Pinochet. I think it was an extremely difficult time for the country and mistakes were made from both sides, some more serious than others.
Having said that, I enjoyed this movie from beggining to end, Nina Kervel-Bey's (Anna) performance is nothing short of miraculous, the plot is so clever in the use of metaphors and daily situations to develop ideas that in some occasions are hard to put in simple words.
I think it's great they cast Chilean actors as some of the "barbudos" (I could tell by their accents).
All in all, a highly recommendable movie, even to some of my fellow countrymen who still label as communists to anyone with some level of social conscience.
