Cachimba (2004)
Good movie!
First, I want to clarify that Julio Jung, the actor who plays Felipe is a very well know actor in Chile.
Second, there are a several things I didn't understand about this movie. If you haven't seen it, don't read the rest; it will spoil it.
Did Felipe paint blue over the paintings? Did Felipe give Marcos the real paintings? Was Felipe the painter, or did he just paint over Cachimba at the end? He had obviously made money... Was Marcos making money painting "Larco's" pictures? Is the movie about becoming a crook, like everyone else was? Did I miss the part where the whole museum ended up in Marco's hands, after he was not considered at all?
I will appreciate your help with this.
Death and the Maiden (1994)
A great combination of suspense, psychology and politics.
Death and the Maiden is a thriller. A woman who had been tortured in a repressive government meets a man who has been her torturer, or has he?
It is also a psychological film. A married couple deals with uncovering the whole truth about their past.
And it is political. Although it is supposed to be a fictional story, it has more than a strong resemblance with the brutal tortures during Pinochet's dictatorship in Chile. It is not filmed in that country, but they use Chilean money, they eat Chilean bread and they mention Tavelli, a popular café in Santiago.
Beautiful music. Schubert's Death and the Maiden, is played throughout the movie.
A great film to view with people who enjoy having discussions after.
Enjoy!
