Invasión


Invasión is an Argentine film released in 1969 and directed by Hugo Santiago. It is an example of an inter phase between the classic cinema and nouvelle vague of French style.

Plot

A group of men commanded by an older man attempts to stop an invasion to the city of Aquilea.
The invaders are common men who defend the city, ignored by the people in general, but with the development of the film it is understood that the invasion is absolute and impossible to define. The defeat of the defenders is evident from the beginning, as in the "Trojan War".

Characters

Part of the film was shot in the Boca Juniors stadium.

History

Some negative rolls were lost during the Argentinian dictatorship.
The film was restored in France in the 1990s using the surviving negatives and lower-quality positives.
