The Eternal Memory (2023)

The two central characters portrayed are prominent people in their home country. Augusto Góngora was a television newscaster and interviewer from the early 1970s onward; he also produced films and books and acted in a miniseries for the great Raul Ruiz. He was on the front lines at a turbulent time in Chile's past and revealing what was happening carried a certain amount of risk. He was charismatic. smart and handsome. His wife Paulina Urrutia is 17 years his junior, which is important because she has got the youth and energy to manage. She is an actress with a solid filmography, not much of which has traveled to the United States. Alberdi’s movie chronicles their life together as they cope with Góngora’s condition, early onset Alzheimer’s disease. It is a horrible disease, which gradually robs you of yourself, and that is gently and persistently pointed out in this Oscar nominated documentary.
