The Way I Like It

About This Movie

So, 'The Way I Like It' is this intriguing 1985 documentary that feels like a time capsule of Chilean cinema during a really oppressive period. The director – though unknown – captures this raw, almost urgent atmosphere as Agüero interrupts the production of five films being shot in 1984. It’s fascinating how he poses these deep, probing questions to the directors about their work, especially when filmmaking in Chile was so restricted. The pacing is somewhat loose, allowing the conversations to breathe, but there's an edge to it, given the backdrop of censorship. You'll appreciate the practical nature of the filmmaking too; it feels very grassroots. It's not polished but has a certain authenticity and grit that makes it stand out.
