On “Structures of Sympathy” (2)

12.03.2008


The Official Story.

Week 21, 2008, at the University of Kent. There was no lecture for Introduction to Narrative Cinema 2: World Cinema this week.

These are the aims of my seminar:

• contextualise La historia oficial within Argentinean history;
• discuss why the women are so important and central in The Official Story (La historia oficial, 1985);
• analyse the film as an intimate drama with a viewpoint on the relations between present and past, memory and life.
