Compañeros - La noche de 12 años
Álvaro Brechner, Uruguay, Spain, Argentina, France, Germany, 2018o
Uruguay, 1973. Having been defeated by the military dictatorship, the surviving members of the Tupamaro guerillas are imprisoned and many of them are regularly tortured. The comrades - among them the later president of the country José „Pepe“ Mujica - desperately try to find ways of enduring their imprisonment, which was to last a full twelve years.
À mi-chemin du Hunger de Steve McQueen et des grands Costa-Gavras des années 70-80, Compañeros met KO mais galvanise aussi, grâce à trois acteurs bouleversants d’humanité, trois gueules sublimes qui entrent instantanément au Panthéon du cinéma de combat.
