Panteón militar

About This Movie

Panteón militar is a deep dive into the shadows of Argentine military history. The documentary unravels the threads of Prussian militarism that wove into the fabric of the Argentine Army. It's interesting how it traces back to figures like Marshal von der Goltz and carries through to the present day. The atmosphere is thick with a sense of nostalgia, but also a stark reminder of the darker influences. The film doesn't shy away from showing cadets expressing admiration for figures like Jorge Videla and even Hitler. This juxtaposition of reverence and historical folly is what makes it quite compelling. The pacing can feel slow, but it gives you time to absorb the weight of what's being discussed, making for a thought-provoking watch.
