Patricio Guzmán left Chile more than 40 years ago when the military dictatorship took over the democratically-elected government, but he never stopped thinking about a country, a culture, and a place on the map that he never forgot. After covering the North in Nostalgia for the Light and the South in The Pearl Button, his shots get up-close with what he calls the vast revealing backbone of Chiles past and recent history. La Cordillera de los sue?os is a visual poem, an historical inquiry, a cinematographic essay, and magnificent personal exercise in soul-searching.
