Comments at Venice film festival come after recent failed assassination attempt on Argentina’s vice-president

in Buenos Aires, when an assailant’s gun failed to discharge, was a “horrible act that we never thought could happen because we believed that the trial of 1985 had put an end to the idea of using violence to resolve political conflict”.Police arrested a Brazilian man after the attempt on Fernández de Kirchner’s life but have not given a possible motive for the attack.

Argentina 1985 portrays the struggle of chief prosecutor Julio Strassera, played by Ricardo Darín, and his young legal team racing to gather evidence before the trial starts of nine members of the old military junta. It also stars Santiago Armas, Alejandra Flechner, Peter Lanzani, Laura Paredes and Carlos Portaluppi.

Mitre uses some of the original testimony presented to court, including a woman forced to give birth in the back of a police car surrounded by laughing thugs, and mothers whose children were abducted and never returned home. “I experienced the dictatorship when I was an adolescent at school,” said Flechner, who plays Strassera’s wife. “The preparation [for the role] was somehow tattooed on my body. It was something I had already experienced.”

As many as 30,000 people disappeared under Argentina’s military dictatorship, according to human rights groups, although determining precise figures remains a topic of debate.Archie Bland and Nimo Omer take you through the top stories and what they mean, free every weekday morningNewsletters may contain info about charities, online ads, and content funded by outside parties.
