Review of The Pearl Button (2015) by Rhetorician — 27 Oct 2015

This film is well worth a viewing. The message is poignant, even if you aren't familiar with Chile's history (and you should be). Beautiful imagery spun together into a compelling philosophical exploration about the lose of those who history along with its colonizers and dictators have erased from history, though signs of them remain. An interesting smattering of artists, survivors of Pinochet's dictatorship, and indigenous descendants are featured in the film along with Guzman's introspective narrative about the geography and history of Chile.

The main thing that I would improve about the film is its description which doesn't really tell you much about what is in the film and might not grab attention enough to make people want to see it.
