Last week, we watched several films, but the one that stood out to me the most was La hora de los hornos. This film was directed Octavio Getino and Fernando Solanas. This 1971 Argentine film explores the struggles of the country’s poorer population. What I found most interesting were the film’s editing, language, and visual style. It feels like a film made by the people and for the people. The fast-paced editing includes gunshots and intense visuals, making the message powerful. One striking example is the scene of cattle being slaughtered, which is intercut with images of foreign advertisements, creating a clear and emotional message. It allows us to feel part within the film and see what these innocent people had to go through.
