Full Plot Details

The ocean contains the history of all humanity. The sea holds all the voices of the earth and those that come from outer space. Water receives impetus from the stars and transmits it to living creatures. Water, the longest border in Chile, also holds the secret of two mysterious buttons which were found on its ocean floor. Chile, with its 2,670 miles of coastline and the largest archipelago in the world, presents a supernatural landscape. In it are volcanoes, mountains and glaciers. In it are the voices of the Patagonian Indigenous people, the first English sailors and also those of its political prisoners. Some say that water has memory. This film shows that it also has a voice.

Movie Reviews

The Big Issue - 10/10 by Edward LawrensonThis is a film of masterly artistry, heaving political anger and uncontained ambition.
Georgia Straight - 10/10 by Ken EisnerFans of Terrence Malick and timeless images of nature and space should catch The Pearl Button, a leisurely but pointed meditation on human history.
MovieMail - 10/10 by Mike McCahillTime and again, Guzman generates profound meanings from simple concepts.
Los Angeles Times - 10/10 by Gary GoldsteinBy turns lyrical, impressionistic and profound, the documentary The Pearl Button requires patience but offers stirring rewards.
The Globe and Mail (Toronto) - 10/10 by Kate TaylorThis haunting Chilean documentary is more poetry than journalism as filmmaker Patricio Guzman compares the fate of the indigenous people of Patagonia with that of the disappeared of the Pinochet regime.
Indiewire - 10/10 by Kevin B. LeeThe Pearl Button is a vivid, essential portal to understanding not only the heritage of a nation, but also the art of nonfiction cinema.
Screen International - 9/10 by Lee MarshallTools associated with fiction are used to tell the truth, and an elegant tone is deployed to disguise a righteous fury.
The New York Times - 9/10 by Nicolas RapoldA master of voice-over and metaphor (the title alone has an amazing payoff), [Mr. Guzmán] sifts through essential truths and draws links between Chile’s past and present inhabitants.
The Playlist - 9/10 by Jessica KiangGuzmán's essential thesis seems to be that, in turning its back on the ocean, modern Chile lost a crucial part of its identity. But he also puts forward the extraordinary idea that the water has a memory, and that if you listen closely enough, you can hear the voices of the disappeared.
The Hollywood Reporter - 9/10 by Deborah YoungIt is the director’s extraordinary intuition about the synchronicity of history, geography and the physical universe – a mysterious relationship that has nothing to do with cause and effect – that gives the film and its predecessor their undeniable power.
