An extraordinary portrait of unconditional love and devotion
THE ETERNAL MEMORY
85’, Chile, 2023., d. Maite Alberdi
documentary film
This extremely moving and authentic film about love and memory, by the Oscar-nominated director (‘The Mole Agent’), winner of the Sundance Film Festival, after which it continued to achieve success around the world. The famous journalist and writer Augusto Góngora, the flagship of Chilean journalism at the time of the fall of Salvador Allende, was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease in 2014. His partner, actress and former culture minister Paulina Urrutia diligently documented their relationship for the next 10 years. Doctor Zhivago, Casablanca, Amour… even those classics may not rival the true love story told in The Eternal Memory (Deadline).
