Disparitions

based on real events - the military dictatorship in Argentina during 1976 - 83. touching story and fine acting overall.

you will see antonio banderas in a kind of role that he has never acted in before and he has come up trumps.

the director has succeeded in portraying the shocking situation in argentina during that period, without being overly visual. the psychic quality of antonio banderas is quite believable and i am sure everybody has heard of such individuals even though they are rare.

i recommend this movie to all movie buffs who love good drama and one that is a bit different from mainstream cinema. and such movies try and ensure that the darkest hours in history won't be forgotten that easily.
