Aline Küppenheim as Carnen in 1976. Manuela Martelli: 'Aline is a great actress. She's really smart in understanding where she is now, and the context and how things should be said' Photo: Luxbox Films Actress Manuela Martelli made her writing and directing feature debut at this year's Cannes Film Festival with 1976, which screened in the Directors' Fortnight sidebar. It tells the story of Carmen (Aline Küppenheim), the well-heeled wife of a doctor who finds herself enlisted to help a fugitive Elías (Nicolás Sepúlveda) from the Pinochet dictatorship at increasing risk to her comfortable life. Unfolding against a backdrop of Carmen's family's trip to a beach house, the end result is a gripping watch that keeps us guessing about its central character's motivations. We caught up with Martelli after Cannes to chat to her about the inspiration for the film and its development.
