If We Lived Together

About This Movie

If We Lived Together is a 1983 documentary that captures a unique moment in time for Chilean artists in exile. Antonio Skármeta, having fled the oppressive regime of 1973, interviews various creatives grappling with the challenges of being separated from their homeland. The film has this raw, reflective tone, almost like a conversation among friends, as these artists share their personal struggles and adaptations. It’s not just about loss; there’s this undercurrent of resilience and exploration of identity that makes it quite compelling. The pacing feels organic, allowing you to sit with their stories. There’s a certain authenticity in their performances, and the practicalities of their new lives in Europe add layers to the narrative.
