Story

A girl’s gift for telling the events of Hollywood movies changes her family’s fortunes in rural Chile in the 1960s Presents Odavde do věčnosti (1953). This film, which premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival, is both a tribute to the American West and a testament to the power of film/storytelling to change lives. Subtitled in Spanish, the characters are drawn from life and from rather difficult lives. The community, located in the “driest place on Earth,” is not unhappy. There’s plenty of room for gentle comedy and young love. The camera moves away from the actual violence, but not from the story, which openly tells what goes on behind the scenes in the town in the salad desert of the young woman at the center of the story. The film was shot on location in an abandoned mining town, which only adds to the versions.
