Movie Review - Pictures From A Revolution
Chiiz
|Volume 38
In this lively discourse on the power of images, a renowned and acclaimed photographer Susan Meiselas returns to the scenes of a revolution that she witnessed and captured with her camera.
Director: Susan Meiselas, Richard P. Rogers, Alfred Guzzetti
Genre: Political Cinema, Historical Documentary
Running Time: 93 min
Language: English, Spanish
Richly permeated with context and color, PICTURES FROM A REVOLUTION approaches the places and people behind Meiselas’ emblematic photographs of war-torn Nicaragua in the late 70’s and 80’s. Dredging into the lives of Guerrillas, Sandinistas & Bystanders, dispersed from Miami to Managua, a decade after their altercation in a violent struggle, this artful film finds prudent pride amidst still-fresh, stirring memories. The stories behind the renowned photos ignite a new understanding of social combat while inviting reflections on the war photographer’s complicated relationship with her subjects.
