‘Missing’
19-55, TCM
Missing. USA, 1982 (118 minutes). Director: Costa-Gavras. Cast: Jack Lemmon, Sissy Spacek.
Political and militant cinema in the seventies had the recurring name of Costa-Gavras, with films such as Z, State of siege and Special section. The filmmaker never abandoned his commitment and began the eighties with another visceral political denunciation, a forceful portrait of the first days of the Pinochet coup in Chile. Missing It is a masterpiece that displays formal sobriety and internal disturbance: a well-off, conservative American travels to Chile to clarify the disappearance of his son. Also to stir his conscience.
