Patricio guzman biography of william shakespeare

  • The structural device employed by Guzmán is the double-plot: as in Shakespeare's King Lear or Eliot's Daniel Deronda, the double-plot here.
  • The films of Patricio Guzman operate in history's dark corners, in the angles where dust collects from the evidence that has been destroyed.
  • "Guzmán's international reputation as a documentary filmmaker has been secured by La batalla de Chile, hailed by both Marxist and non-Marxist critics in.
