In Chile’s Atacama Desert, 3,000 meters above sea level, astronomers from around the world take advantage of a sky so clear it allows them to see to the very boundaries of the known universe. Meanwhile, at the foot of the observatory, women dig through the soil in search of the “disappeared” victims of Pinochet’s regime, their remains mummified by the hot, dry climate." In Nostalgia for the Light, director Patricio Guzmán once again exhumes Chile’s past, contrasting those looking out toward the stars with those sifting through the reminders of a bloody pas". – Nicholas Davies / Abu Dhabi Film Festival 2011
