About This Movie

Recordari pulls you into Santiago, Chile, 1985, through the innocent eyes of two seven-year-old girls, Camila and Paula. The animation style is distinct, blending a childlike whimsy with harsh realities, a juxtaposition that truly shapes the film's tone. It’s really layered, showcasing how the personal lives of these kids are interwoven with the ominous presence of Pinochet’s regime. The pacing feels deliberate, almost dreamlike, yet it’s punctuated by moments of stark clarity that remind you of the underlying tension. You see the sweet moments of friendship contrasted with the bitter knowledge of their surroundings. It's hard not to appreciate how the animation captures both the innocence and the dread. The performances seem almost improvised, giving it a raw quality that draws you in.
