"A SUPREME LIFE" IS SCREENING THIS THURSDAY AT THE ATALAYA CLUB
Framed within the weekly programming of the Thursday film classroom at the Atalaya Club, and after
The death of Pepe Mújica, a figure who, without seeking it, has become a beacon of conscience
For a society that lives in search of meaning, the La Linterna Mágika film club has programmed
For tomorrow, Thursday 22nd, at 8:00 p.m., the screening of El Pepe, a supreme life (2018).
Directed by filmmaker Emir Kusturica, the documentary portrays the intimate coherence of
former president and Tupamaro guerrilla, a tribute to political dignity and internal freedom.
Kusturica, recognized for his dreamlike style, far from mythologizing him, humanizes him even more and shows
that another way of living and governing is always possible.
Mújica was imprisoned under the military dictatorship of Bordaberry until 1985 for participating in the
guerrilla of the Tupamaros National Liberation Movement. It was more than 14 years of
confinement, during which he was tortured and spent most of his time in confinement
absolute and solitude. His presidency in Uruguay from 2010 to 2015 was just a stage in the
life of a man who never ceased to be, at heart, a philosopher.
El Pepe, a supreme life, is a meditation on freedom, austerity as a form of
resistance, and the strange peace that comes from living without duplicity.
Free admission until capacity is reached.
