The Cordillera of Dreams (Spanish: La cordillera de los sueños / French: La Cordillère des songes) is a 2019 Chilean-French documentary film directed by Patricio Guzmán. It is considered the third installment in a trilogy of films by Guzmán about his native country, Chile, alongside Nostalgia for the Light (2010) and The Pearl Button (2015).[1]
The film was nominated for Best Documentary Film at the 45th César Awards, being the second nomination for Guzmán in this category after The Pearl Button in 2016.[2] The film was selected as the Chilean entry for Best Iberoamerican Film at the 36th Goya Awards, later receiving the nomination.[3]
Release
The film premiered at the 2019 Cannes Film Festival in the Special screenings section.[4] At the festival, the film shared the L'Œil d'or award with For Sama.[5]
Reception
On review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, the film holds an approval rating of 91% based on 23 reviews, with an average rating of 8.10.[6] On Metacritic, the film holds a rating of 83 out of 100, based on 6 critics, indicating "universal acclaim".[7]
Deborah Young of The Hollywood Reporter wrote about the film that "in and of itself, it is a mournfully intelligent, poetic documentary that once more seeks to link the vastness, grandeur and indifference of nature with the human horrors that Chileans have lived through".[8] Jessica Kiang of Variety commented about the film and its place within Guzmán's trilogy of films, writing that "taken as a completed project, Guzmán's late-career trinity is a stunning achievement in the cinema of the hidden pattern and the startling, unexpected connection".[9]
