Remarks
Synopsis
With Too Late to Die Young, Chilean filmmaker Dominga Sotomayor became the first woman to win the Best Director award at the Locarno International Film Festival. In the summer of 1990 after the end of the Pinochet dictatorship, a group of families try to carve lives among nature in an insular community away from the city. Brought to this remote provincial world by idealistic adults, frustrated teens Sofia and Lucas face their fears and yearn for love and escape. Brimming with the sights, sounds and turbulent emotions of its time and place, Sotomayor’s evocative memoir excels in capturing the prescient moments in a youth – and a country’s – coming of age. This is the film's Asian premiere.
