Abstract

DILLON, Alfredo. Recent views on/from Peronism in Argentine fiction cinema. Desde el Sur [online]. 2020, vol.12, n.2, pp.525-545. ISSN 2076-2674.  http://dx.doi.org/10.21142/des-1201-2020-0029.

The article offers a formal and narrative analysis of two recent biographical films about Peronism: Juan y Eva (Paula de Luque, 2011) and Iron Gate. The Exile of Perón (Víctor Laplace and Dieguillo Fernández, 2012). Both films are read in relation to the political climate they share: that of the third Kirchner government in Argentina. Produced in two opposing narrative aesthetics -a minimalist postepic on the one hand, a discursive recovery of the Peronist epic on the other- the two films, however, share an idealizing view of the figures of Juan Domingo and Eva Perón.

Keywords : Argentine Cinema; Peronism; Biopic; Biographical Cinema; Historical Cinema.
