Synopsis
In Surplus Value, Pablo Spatola recalls the time, back in the 1990s, when he wanted to make a short film about a worker who rebelled against the system, but in those times that ending just wasn’t possible. Anyway, the short was shot, and its realistic images now reveal a deep nostalgia for times of proletarian resistance. In 2005, Spatola’s father –an active member of the Communist Party– died, and his son started to make this documentary to explain, in part, the feeling of impossibility that lied in that struggle. Surplus Vale is, then, a reconstruction of the history of the Argentine Communist Party from an intimate perspective, and, at the same time, a review the country’s political dynamics in the last fifty years. Icons such as González Tuñón, Pugliese, and Victorio Codovilla are evoked to explain the tensions Communism experienced, but mainly to contribute to the critical review undertaken by Spatola, who interviews and analyzes the rhetoric and images of the past. He finds declassified files, travels to Russia, and shoots his present attempting to find another revolution or, at least, a more personal meaning to the words surplus value.
