“ Nineteen Forty-One, Darkness Extended Version” by Juanma Carrillo (Spain, 2013, 13′)
In a year in which Marlene Dietrich was breaking all stereotypes as an actress and as a woman by becoming a US citizen and Orson Welles was presenting the best allegation on the loss of power in his masterpiece “Citizen Kane”, Europe was drained in an all-out war led by big dictators in which treason, death and violence corrupted all layers of society.
Nineteen Forty-one is a tribute to one of the hardest years in the history of the twentieth century.
