Hour of the Furnaces
1969, NR, 260 min. Directed by Fernando E. Solanas, Octavio Getino.
REVIEWED By Marjorie Baumgarten, Thu., March 29, 2001
A polemical indictment of neocolonialism, this four-hour-plus documentary (that represents the first conscious expression of the Third Cinema movement) was made to be shown in clandestine settings and presents a collage of newsreel and newly filmed material.
