For those who think they cannot stomach one more, Maite Alberdi\u2019s \u201cThe Eternal Memory\u201d treats inexorably sad material with a lighter, more lyrical <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>roach than most \u2014 focusing less on the day-to-day ravages of living with Alzheimer\u2019s than on the slippery, transient concept of memory itself, as formed, held and lost both in the individual mind and a wider collective consciousness. Key to the film\u2019s thesis is that its subject is Augusto G\u00f3ngora, a veteran Chilean political journalist who labored through the 1970s and 1980s to bring the iniquities of the Pinochet regime to public attention \u2014 and later dedicated himself to conserving that national memory for future generations. <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    Yet even as the film grapples with Chilean history through the prism of one man\u2019s faltering recall, \u201cThe Eternal Memory\u201d is not as densely conceptual or intellectual a work as, say, Patricio Guzm\u00e1n\u2019s \u201cNostalgia for the Light,\u201d which mapped Pinochet\u2019s legacy in literally astronomical terms. Instead, it\u2019s the simple love story between G\u00f3ngora and his devoted wife and carer, former Chilean culture minister Paulina Urrutia, that gives Alberdi\u2019s film its spine and its heart \u2014 and won it admirers at Sundance, where it landed both the top prize in the world doc competition and a global distribution deal with MTV Documentary Films. Berlin is the next festival stop for a film that could well match the success of Alberdi\u2019s previous feature, the Oscar-nominated \u201cThe Mole Agent.\u201d <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    The quirky genre affectations of that film are absent from Alberdi\u2019s follow-up, which also dwelt on the vagaries of aging and mental deterioration; the warm, gentle touch of her filmmaking, however, is consistent between the two. The tone is set by the opening scene, as Urrutia \u2014 17 years her husband\u2019s junior \u2014 softly wakes G\u00f3ngora and informs him that she\u2019s \u201chere to help [him] remember.\u201d Only gradually does he comprehend that she\u2019s his wife, and that they\u2019re in the house they\u2019ve shared for over 20 years; his disorientation is allayed, however, by his beaming comfort in her presence. It won\u2019t always be so cozy between them. Filmed over four years (and beginning some time after G\u00f3ngora\u2019s Alzheimer\u2019s diagnosis in 2014), \u201cThe Eternal Memory\u201d observes them from a stage where his memory is less consistent than their mutual affection, to the plunging point where he can\u2019t recognize his own face, let alone hers.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    The film\u2019s timeline is considerably expanded, however, by extensive archival footage of G\u00f3ngora in his professional prime and the couple in younger, easier times \u2014 pulling from both <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/news\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"2\" title=\"News\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">news<\/a>reels and home video, deftly braided into the whole by editor Carolina Siraqyan, often in a way that implies the temporal blurring and skipping of memory itself. The patchwork offers a fuller picture of both partners\u2019 formidable careers \u2014 hers as an actor turned politician, his as a TV newsman turned political and cultural commentator \u2014 and of the contented life (and house) they built for themselves after meeting in the 1990s. Still, we\u2019re led to wonder how selective Urrutia is being in jogging her husband\u2019s memory, painting a picture of an entirely blissful history together. <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    Conflict comes only in the present tense, as G\u00f3ngora\u2019s worsening state pushes him into states of panic and despair that she can\u2019t so easily soothe. \u201cHow long is it going to be like this?\u201d he wails. \u201cI\u2019m alone, man.\u201d The film can assure the audience, if not its subject, that this is hardly the case, as Urrutia\u2019s care is constant even at its most sorely challenged: Supplemented by a slightly over-sweetened score and a soundtrack of wistful love songs, there\u2019s unyielding tenderness to scenes where she walks him around the garden, traces the crevices of his face with a knowing, loving hand, or reads to him from his own books.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    The film\u2019s title appears to riff on one of those: After the collapse of Chile\u2019s military dictatorship, G\u00f3ngora contributed to a volume called \u201cChile, the Forgotten Memory,\u201d reflecting on how they could ensure the country\u2019s unhappy past could be kept vivid and instructive even to people unable to remember it first-hand. \u201cThis book is only helpful if memory helps us recover our identity,\u201d he wrote back then, and \u201cThe Eternal Memory\u201d makes much of the irony of this statement now applying to its writer\u2019s personal history. This insistent parallel between individual and national consciousness never culminates in quite the rhetorical kicker Alberdi seems to be seeking, but there\u2019s power in it just the same: a reminder of how our best efforts to keep and curate memories \u2014 for ourselves and others \u2014 can be thwarted by time.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script type=\"text\/plain\" class=\"optanon-category-C0004\">\n  !function(f, b, e, v, n, t, s) {\n    if (f.fbq) return;\n    n = f.fbq = function() {\n      n.callMethod ?\n          n.callMethod.apply(n, arguments) : n.queue.push(arguments);\n    };\n    if (!f._fbq) f._fbq = n;\n    n.push = n;\n    n.loaded = !0;\n    n.version = '2.0';\n    n.queue = [];\n    t = b.createElement(e);\n    t.async = !0;\n    t.src = v;\n    s = b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n    s.parentNode.insertBefore(t, s);\n  }(window, document, 'script',\n      'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\n  fbq('init', '586935388485447');\n  fbq('init', '315552255725686');\n  fbq('track', 'PageView');\n<\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
