La noche de 12 años

"A Twelve-Year Night" (La noche de 12 años) is a Drama - History movie in which we are in Uruguay of 1973 which is governed by a military dictatorship and we follow three Tupamaro prisoners. After a period of time in jail, they are taken from their jail cells in a secret military operation. This secret military operation is very simple and very precise since they cannot kill them they will drive them mad. The three prisoners will remain in jail and especially in solitary confinement for twelve years.

I liked this movie very much because it is based on true events and because it presents the big fight that these three men fought for twelve years. This movie shows also the true face of military dictatorship and what is able to do if nobody fights back and let it act freely. About the direction which was made by Álvaro Brechner who is also the writer, I have to admit that I was happily surprised by it and I believe that his job in this movie was simply exceptional. I also enjoyed the interpretations of Antonio de la Torre who played as José Mujica, Alfonso Tort who played as Eleuterio Fernández Huidobro and Chino Darín who played as Mauricio Rosencof. Another good but short interpretation that has to be mentioned was Soledad Villamil's who played as Psiquiatra.

In conclusion, I have to say that "A Twelve-Year Night" (La noche de 12 años) is an amazing movie with an interesting plot, an exceptional direction, and many good scenes. If you are a fan of Latin America movies like "Nueve reinas", "El Secreto de Sus Ojos", "Wild Tales" and "Nieve negra" then this is the movie you have to watch because I am sure that you are going to love it. But even if you haven't watched any of these movies I believe that you are going to enjoy watching it for all the previous reasons I wrote.
