Revolución
Leandro Ipiña toma distancia de los puntos de vista que se abordaron anteriormente en este nuevo film sobre San Martin. Narrada por un anciano que en su juventud fue amanuense de San Martín y en el 1880 del relato malvive en una pensión, la película entrelaza el interés intimista de su narración con un despliegue visual de dimensiones avasallantes para cubrir ese primer cruce de Los Andes en el que San Martin se planteó la liberación de toda Sudamérica de los virreynatos.

 

Revolution

The story starts in 1880, near the date when the remains of the deceased José de San Martín were moved to Buenos Aires. A veteran of the Army of the Andes gets an interview for the event, and the narration continues mostly through a flashback. The telling of the events does not follow the complete biography of San Martín, focusing instead in the Crossing of the Andes and the later Battle of Chacabuco.
