1001 Movies You Must See Before You Die list
When I first started watching the documentary Nostalgia for the Light, I thought that since this is a documentary about Astronomy, I really should be watching this on a IMAX screen. But then the movie turns to the political realities of families living under the dictatorships of Pinochet and Allende and the human toll of reality is shown in full force. Part science, part sociology, part philosophy, Nostalgia for the Light's ability to mix these elements is what makes it a moving and meaningful piece.
