Product Description La Recoleta Cemetery rests in the heart of one of Buenos Aires' swankiest neighborhoods. A city-within-a-city, it is an inward-facing place with it's own interior geography. Like the Père-Lachaise graveyard in France, La Recoleta is the final resting place for key figures of it's nation's history: statesmen and poets, founding fathers and oppositional voices. And with Argentina's history so fraught with unrest, this relationship between the necropolis, the city and the nation proves fascinating ground for Nicolás Prividera's new film.

It's OK, but not the movie I thought it was, by the same title. My bad. I watched this one and it was interesting.

A beautiful film looking back on horrific times in Argentina
Once the scenes of death during the first 5 to 10 minutes are over, it is readings regarding Argentina with the beautiful Rocaleta Cemetery in the background. The readings reflect on troubled times and conflict in Argentina.

Some of the best subtitles I've ever seen
Some of the best subtitles I've ever seen; Thankfully, with the handy (English Subtitles) tag, I knew that it was a real, non-English movie with English subtitles.
