The trailer is good to get a sense of place and of course these are great actors and Polanski is a great director. However, resist the temptation to watch the full film until you have studied the play as there are major differences in the text.
Disclaimer: Please note this is an IB text for older teenagers and parental guidance is advised for younger teenagers who may be reading this blog. There is some rough and vulgar language in the play and simulated violence in the film version. The story deals with the abuse of human rights during the Pinochet military dictatorship in Chile in the 1970s. This is part of a pre-university course for older teens and critical thinkers. Just as with "The God of Small Things" it contains adult themes.
