About El Lado Oscuro
An interrogator patiently listens to the confessions of a torturer who recreates, in minute detail, the bloody crimes he committed. This film is based on the true story of Antonio López Crespo, a lawyer for CONADEP, a commission created in 1983 to investigate human rights violations in Argentina.
Directed by Gonzalo Suárez, El Lado Oscuro leans on a strong ensemble — Héctor Alterio, Hugo Gorban — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 1991.
