It is an example of an interphase between the classic cinema and ''[[nouvelle vague]]'' of French style. Its plot goes from a police history, towards a fantastic-oniric film, with a progressive alienism of the situations. ==Plot== A group of men commanded by an old one tries to stop an invasion to the city of [[Aquilea]]. The invaders are common men who defend the city, ignored by the people in general, but with the development of the film it is understood that the invasion is absolute and impossible to define. The defeat of the defenders is evident from the beginning, as in the "[[Trojan War]]". [[Image:Dibujo sobre Aquilea.png|thumb|200px|Map of Aquilea]] ==Characters== * ''Don Porfirio'', interpreted by [[Juan Carlos Paz]]: He is the head of the defenders. He calls one by one, giving them the instructions, but he also has other plans. * ''Julián Herrera'', interpreted by [[Lautaro Murúa]]: Commands the men who fight the invasor. Flat Hero, without visible emotions, almost the prototype of the [[Jorge Luis Borges|Borgean]] ''[[compadrito]]''. * ''Irene'', interpreted by [[Olga Zubarry]]: Herrera's wife, has a double life, and the discovery of this double life was the final surprise of the film. ==Connections== * The city: The story speaks of [[Buenos Aires]], calling it [[Aquilea]], and the lost of old values produced by the invasion. * [[El Eternauta]]: The invasors arrive to [[Buenos Aires|Buenos Aire]]<nowiki/>s, defended by a dispersed group, that knows that the defense is impossible, and the final victory of the invaders by their large number was used in the [[comic strip]] ''[[El Eternauta]]'' of [[Héctor Germán Oesterheld]] of 1957. * The [[Trojan War]]: The epic of the defeated begins to [[Iliad]]. {{Confusing|date=June 2009}} == References == {{Unreferenced|date=May 2010}} {{Reflist}} == External links == <div class="references-small"> * {{imdb title|0064490}} * [http://ar.news.yahoo.com/s/13122008/40/n-entertain-lanzan-dvd-filme-argentino-quot.html DVD version ] * [http://www.radio.cz/es/articulo/55008/] * [http://fotograma.com/notas/festivales/2296.shtml/ in czech] * [http://www.quintadimension.com/article100.html/ in spanish] (critica) * [http://tetonadefellini.blogspot.com/2006/11/invasin-the-hroes-dress-of-oscuro.html/ in english] </div> {{DEFAULTSORT:Invasion}} [[Category:Avant-garde and experimental films]] [[Category:1969 films]] [[Category:Dystopian films]] [[Category:Tech noir films]] [[Category:Argentine films]] [[Category:Independent films]] [[Category:Political drama films]] [[Category:Spanish-language films]] [[Category:Films directed by Hugo Santiago]] {{1960s-Argentina-film-stub}}'
