London Film Festival reviews

[quintus_marcius]

NoA film about the 1988 referendum on the rule of General Pinochet in Chile, with the main viewpoint that of the advertising executive brought in to help the no campaign get its message across. As I wasn't 100% sure of the referendum result going in, I'd better not mention it here. The film is an interesting discussion of political campaigning,

Despite your noble attempt not to spoil the plot of 'No' I was curious enough to google the result. I've learned something today!

(All I get when I google Post tenebrae lux is some 'Warhammer Online' vids, so I'm still none the wiser there!)

I've finally edited this to correct my mistake to Post tenebras lux. Not sure whether this was a memory failure or a Latin failure, as I should have known that post takes the accusative. An especially bad mistake for an ancient history graduate, and in a post that had been praised for being educational.

Ah, that makes it a bit easier to find.
The Guardian critic thought it was opaque and exasperating, apparently!

Wikipedia tells me that Post tenebras lux was once the state motto of Chile, but now it's Por la razón o la fuerza, which is apparently Spanish for 'By reason or by force'. I've learned something tonight!
