 REVIEWS - Salvador (Puig Antich) 2006 a film by Manuel Huerga
They all cried back in May in Cannes where 'Salvador' was shown in the socially committed "Un certain regard" section, and everybody cried that dark Friday evening in the Príncipe cinema for the premiere of Huerga's film and that of many others, including Puig Antich's sisters.
Everybody cried because it is a superb, powerful film that narrates the most intense moments of the life and death of a young man who fought against Franco and his henchmen in the same rather clumsy way that many fought the regime whilst as we all know the rest looked the other way.
A visual power that grows throughout the film and culminates with the death of the main character to the sound of 'Suzanne' by Leonard Cohen; the young man who crosses borders and robs banks whilst you're listening to 'Knocking On Heaven's Doors' by Dylan who in his day was also a rebel.

The aesthetic "pose" of the film is its pre-text and pretense.
While the situation in El Salvador may be confusing, and the social implications of both the movie and recent events threatening, this graphic insemination of the spectacle works to mark, identify, and distance any horror that might reside in the original film.

Salvador Garcia is the old capitan of the Voladores, and it is at his house that much of the filming took place: the candle-making, the kid's practice, and the dance to the hub.
During the filming, Lane became friends with Juan and Salvador Garcia, the captains of the Voladores, and when a child was born to Salvador and his wife, Angela, they asked Lane to be the child's godfather and thus their compadre (co-parent).
A second film, "The Tree of Knowledge," which compares the dance of the Huehues, used by Totonacs as a teaching tool for defining their relationships to non-Indian Mexicans, with the nationalistic and assimilationist celebrations of the Mexican public school system, was completed in 1981.

 salvador
'Salvador' is one of Oliver Stone’s earlier efforts… it hasn’t gained the recognition of ‘Platoon’, ‘JFK’ or ‘Born on the Fourth of July’ but I think this film is every bit as much ‘up there’ as those aforementioned Stone classics.
The film's strength is in the character of Boyle (and the acting of Woods, in probably his greatest role), a self-confessed liar, cheat, alcoholic and scum-of-the-earth journalist.
Films aiming to portray a subject matter as truthfully (and albeit, grimly) as this need a good balance, and a person like Boyle is human enough to achieve that.

It should be obvious that the rapists' actions are also oppressive, however the film does not attempt to connect their actions to the brutality of their situation but instead connects it to the inherent savageness of El Salvador.

 DVD Outsider: Salvador DVD review
But El Salvador is a dangerous, unpredictable place, and Boyle quickly discovers that he is unable to maintain his cheerful cynicism and stay detached from the social upheaval he initially went there to record.
The political upheaval of an entire country inevitably becomes a backdrop for the story of the political and emotional awakening of an outsider, and the story is almost always seen from his perspective.
Salvador was the first Oliver Stone film I saw (I caught it in London just a week before Platoon opened and changed Stone's career forever) and remains my favourite, despite some stiff competition.

 People's Weekly World - Progressive cinema by Bill Meyer — Compelling portrait of Allende
Guzman has dedicated most of his film career to keeping alive not only Salvador Allende’s memory, but the realities of one of the few attempts in history to bring about a socialist revolution via an electoral path.
Guzman’s films are characterized by an aching nostalgia for his homeland, Allende and the democratic socialist revolution that held so much promise.
Guzman’s film technique was honed in the early years of the revolution and his forced exile seasoned his longing to return home and pay tribute to the leftists and their dreams for a better society.

Intro-A powerful film, Salvador was an early Oliver Stone masterpiece, garnering two Academy Award nominations; one for James Woods and one for the screenplay, written by Stone and the subject of the film, Richard Boyle.
The film chronicles some major news events, including the murder of Archbishop Romero, and the very hard to watch rape-murder of Catholic nuns and workers, which made headlines here in America, and as of now, the killers are still free.
