The Camera Assistant

The Battle of Chile, which chronicles the tumultuous last months of Salvador Allende’s Popular Unity government (1970-1973) in Chile, has been internationally hailed as a powerful historical portrait of the passions of a people divided and a nation on the brink of civil war.

“La Batalla de Chile” es un documental histórico que en las décadas de los 70 y 80 fue distribuido en 35 países del mundo. No es un filme de archivo: es un documento filmado en el momento mismo de producirse los hechos. Su autor y director trabajó con un equipo en medio de los acontecimientos. El material virgen (película de l6 MM en blanco y negro) fue una contribución del documentalista francés Chris Marker y el montaje se realizó gracias a la colaboración el Instituto de Cinematografía Cubano (ICAIC). Jorge Müller Silva (el cámara del filme) fue secuestrado por la policía ilitar de Pinochet en noviembre de 1974. Hasta hoy se desconoce su paradero. Es uno de los 3.000 desaparecidos que todavía hay en Chile. “La Batalla de Chile” ha sido objeto de la censura en Chile y nunca ha sido emitida por la televisión pública.

The diva of the title is a famous black opera singer (Wilhelmina Wiggins-Fernandez) who steadfastly refuses to be recorded. The singer is idolized by young French mail-carrier Jules (Frederic Andrei), who sneaks a tape recorder into the theater and records her performance. This is witnessed by a pair of Taiwanese criminals, who unlike Andrei wish to profit from the bootlegged recording. They begin to pursue the boy, as do a couple of home-grown hooligans who believe that Jules is in possession of some murder evidence. The serpentine plot leads to a warm friendship between Jules and the reclusive diva - and to a brilliantly photographed (by Philipe Rousselot) motorcycle chase through the subway tunnels of Paris. Diva marked the directorial debut of Jean-Jacques Beineix, whose obvious fondness for the more esoteric techniques of the Nouvelle Vague never impedes his willingness to simply entertain his audiences.
