Synopsis
Chile '76 (2022) is a Chilean drama from director Manuela Martelli you can watch online on iFILM. It's the third year of Pinochet's dictatorship, and Carmen, the wife of a well-off doctor, leaves the city to redecorate the family beach house.
When the parish priest asks her to nurse a wounded young man he's hiding, Carmen's comfortable bourgeois routine starts to crack. The stranger turns out to be a fugitive the regime is hunting, and every drug run, every glance from a passerby becomes a hazard. Step by step she is pulled into a resistance she once preferred not to see. Aline Küppenheim anchors the film as Carmen.
Martelli's directorial debut premiered in Cannes' Directors' Fortnight, and its jittery electronic score and muted 1970s palette turn a domestic story into a quiet thriller about fear and complicity. Restrained political cinema for anyone drawn to Pablo Larraín's No. Stream Chile '76 (2022) online on iFILM.
