A segment from the first part of Solanas and Getino's 1968 Third Cinema classic. This legendary underground film criticized neo-colonialism and called for the overthrow of the Argentine government. Intended to be a film which "the System finds indigestible," La Hora was made and distributed outside of the commercial film industry. Because watching the film was illegal, the film transcended bourgeois entertainment: "We also discovered that every comrade who attended such showings did so with full awareness that he was infringing the System's laws and exposing his personal security to eventual repression. This person was no longer a spectator; on the contrary, from the moment he decided to attend the showing, from the moment he lined himself up on this side by taking risks and contributing his living experience to the meeting, he became an actor, a more important protagonist than those who appeared in the films." Obviously this clip is a reference to Eisenstein's Strike.

  • Yeah I bet you're a vegetarian then eh?

  • This film packs a political punch like few others. Magnificent. The slaughterhouse scenes are as revealing and as horrifying as those in Nikolaus Geyrhalter's 'Our Daily Bread' and Charles Burnett's 'The killer of Sheep'. Capitalism is an abatoir; brute, ugly, dehumanizing and bloody.
