The Oscar-nominated film “Argentina, 1985” recounts the first time in history that a military dictatorship was tried and brought to justice by civilian courts.
“Argentina, 1985,” a film that won a Golden Globe for Best Non-English-Language Picture on January 10th, and an Oscar nomination for Best International Feature on Tuesday, tells the true story of the effort to bring to trial the military juntas that led Argentina during the years of its cruelest dictatorship, from 1976 to 1983. In a crucial scene, the main protagonist, a federal prosecutor named Julio Strassera visits an old friend, a lawyer known as El Ruso .
Many causes contributed to this outcome: the courage and strength of a human-rights movement created by the families of victims, which was eventually joined by millions of Argentines; the internal disarray and the public discredit of the military, after its defeat in the Malvinas/Falklands War; and the specific messy nature of Argentinean politics, which renders amnesty pacts or arrangements of the kind established in other nations unsustainable.
