VIOLETA WENT TO HEAVEN [Violeta se fue a los cielos]
2011 Oscar Submission for Best Foreign Language Film, Chile

The latest film from Chile's Andrés Wood (MACHUCA) is this biopic of influential, inspiring folksinger and political activist Violeta Parra. Featuring an electrifying, charismatic performance by Francisca Gavilán as Parra, stirring musical performances and lyrical, time-shifting storytelling, this is a great work of art about a great artist. Wood wisely goes in for a no-holds-barred account of Parra's legendary, complicated life, which can only enhance this larger-than-life figure's legacy in its retelling.
