The protagonists must choose between allowing military impositions or self-censorship.
Directed by Emilio Vieyra, El poder de la censura leans on a strong ensemble — Víctor Laplace, Fernanda Mistral, Héctor Bidonde — 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 screen titles of 1983.
