FILM CLASSROOM at the Atalaya Club.
This Thursday, January 25th, at 7:00 p.m., the film "In the Valley of Elah" by Paul Haggis will be screened.
In the Valley of Elah is the story of a revealed image, a video recorded with a mobile phone that, like a Polaroid taken in the heart of Hell, reveals the secret of a war that refuses to be recognized as a murderous invasion.
Its director is not so much interested in the trenches as in the soldiers' return home: In the Valley of Elah is to the Iraq War what The Homecoming (Hal Ashby, 1978) was to the Vietnam War and The Best Years of Our Lives (William Wyler, 1946) was to the Second World War. Disguised as a detective story guided by a patriotic father (Tommy Lee Jones, as austere as ever), the plot puts its finger on the sore spot of the side effects of a conflict that is already spreading like a cancer in American reality.
Paul Haggis manages, with commendable equanimity, to touch the sensitive nerve of an issue that hurts, and will continue to hurt.
Free admission, until full capacity is reached.
