The Invisible Eye

This movie doesn't have anything about the Argentinian dictatorship government.

Actually, I don't understand the topic of the movie.

It was the slowest movie I've seen...so far.

Good and underrated Argentine movie which is both an immersive psychological portrait of leading role character (María Teresa, a.k.a. Marita) and the depiction of narrow-minded stupid, sexist, repressive and morally cynical ethos of coward military dictatorship. Pace is slow, but works, for those who have nacessary patience, in order to developping Marita's confusions, anxieties, background and sexuality, in a very skilled performance by Julieta Zylberberg. School is a microcosm of neurotic search of "subversion" and self-affirmation punishment. All the oppressions must be overturned, at once if possible.

The camera in this movie is fantastic! The faces's expressions are very well worked. The sense of oppression is evident and the ambiguity of the main character is very marked. I liked when she laughs and I really liked when she sees the buttons, the leggings, the skirts always with this cold but intense eye at the same time. I have to say that the actress surprised me greatly and that I have to congratulate Nunez's performance, because this movie is directed with a great critical eye, and as if we were inside the movie. The same story could happen to any place in Spain during my childhood. In fact, I felt quite impressed by many memories it brought up from my own childhood in a state school during the times of Franco.
