Santiago de Chile - Award-winning at the prestigious Cannes Film Festival this year, the documentary "Allende, My Grandfather Allende" spent the first days of trials in Chile with remarkable influx of public and acceptance.

This was undoubtedly the biggest fear of its director, Marcia Tambutti, granddaughter of the constitutional president of Chile who was overthrown on September 11, 1973 by the bloody coup of Augusto Pinochet.

I am very nervous, because I am quite concerned about the reaction of the public, I hope you like it, told to Prensa Latina the director on the premiere night in this capital, where she was received with ovations.

With an intense but tempered emotionalism, without digging with excesses in the pain of the tragedy that her family lived, Marcia Tambutti now offers a valuable gift to Chile, in a truly mournful week.

With wounds that still do not heal, as recognized by Isabel Allende Bussi, the mother of the filmmaker, the film rescues strengths and weaknesses of the former president which exalt him as a very beloved figure in Chile even more.

Julio Jung (Coronation, Hookah), the veteran and prominent Chilean actor was direct in his remarks to Prensa Latina: 'I want to go right now to see my family and give them a big hug to all'.

His words are related to the slow but direct way in which the documentary explores the intricacies of the Allende family after September 11. Also the fact that during the eight years of filming two people died.

Hortencia Bussi, the courageous and lucid Allende's widow, who provides essential details to the footage, and died in 2009. Then in 2010, the suicide of Gonzalo, brother of Marcia, overwhelmed by the death of his wife.

Eight years to advance a laborious work that she was able to conclude because of the force of inspiration from her family.

A human and deeply sensitive portrayal, "Allende, My Grandfather Allende" won the Golden Eye Award in the Cannes Film Festival this year. A merit added to a newcomer filmmaker, who entered the cinema with this film of 90 minutes.
