A passionately political film. It presents the choices of radically challenging the corruption of the U.S. system (Sarah) vs. getting elected to office (Fielding) through the intense love relationship of its lead actors. The relationship begins during the fascist coup in Chile engineered by the U.S. government. And then picks up 10 years later when she has died in a right wing car bombing and he is elected to Congress. He begins seeing and hearing her. I think the film is about his crisis of conscience symbolized by her presence because he knows the system is corrupt but he wants its success anyway. The ending is ambiguous, but haunting.
