Maite Alberdi | Documentary | Chile | 2022 | 84m | Spanish with English subtitles
with Augusto Góngora, Paulina Urrutia
The Eternal Memory tells a profound and moving love story that balances vibrant individual and collective remembrance with the longevity of an unbreakable human bond.
Augusto Góngora and Paulina Urrutia have been together and in love for 25 years. Eight years ago, their lives were forever changed by Augusto’s Alzheimer’s diagnosis. As one of Chile’s most prominent cultural commentators and television presenters, Augusto is no stranger to building an archive of memory. Now he turns that work to his own life, trying to hold on to his identity with the help of his beloved Paulina, whose own pre-eminence as a famous actress and Chilean Minister of Culture predates her ceaselessly inventive manner of engaging with her husband. Day by day, the couple face this challenge head-on, relying on the tender affection and sense of humour shared between them that remains, remarkably, fully intact.
"Maite Alberdi brings us one of the most heartfelt renditions of life, love, and memory in recent years of cinema." -Adam Mullins-Khatib, Chicago Reader
"What rings truest and richest about The Eternal Memory, as exquisitely humane a film as you’re likely to see all year, [i]s what abiding love and stewardship look like in the moment." -Robert Abele, Los Angeles Times
"A testament to the vitality and fragility of memory that itself serves as an act of preservation—of a prized past, a fraught present and an everlasting devotion." -Nick Schager, The Daily Beast
