Synopsis

Como me da la gana II is a sequel of sorts to Como me da la gana, a 30-year-old documentary in which Ignacio Agüero visited directors on set to ask them what it meant to be shooting a film under Pinochet's dictatorship. Here he uses the same technique to get filmmakers to sum up exactly what it is about what they do that makes it uniquely cinematographic. It’s a slippery question with no simple answer. Como me da la gana II can also be read as Agüero’s attempt at answering the same question himself.

Bio/Filmo

Ignacio Agüero (Santiago de Chile, 1952) is a filmmaker, writer and producer. He has also played the lead in several films by Raul Ruiz.
