Socialist Realism

Novelist and screenwriter Roberto Brodsky will present the premiere in the United States of Raúl Ruiz and Valeria Sarmiento's iconic film Socialist Realism, a satirical reading of President Salvador Allende's Popular Unity process prior to the 1973 military coup in Chile.

A satirical reading of the process of the «Unidad Popular» of President Salvador Allende, prior to the military civic coup of 1973 in Chile. The film is a choral story, where different worlds are chained together. On the one hand, that of the workers and the lumpen, and on the other, that of a group of intellectual supporters of the UP who are grouped together in a poetic front plus representatives of the petty bourgeoisie.
