Invasión
Invasión is an Argentine film released in 1969 and directed by Hugo Santiago, who had also written the script together with Jorge Luis Borges and Adolfo Bioy Casares. Its style is intermediate between classic cinema and the French "nouvelle vague". Plot. A group of men commanded by an older man attempts to stop an invasion to the city of Aquilea. The invaders are met by 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." Production. Part of the film was shot in the Boca Juniors stadium. History. Some negative rolls were lost during the Argentine dictatorship of 1976–1983. The film was restored in France in the 1990s using the surviving negatives and lower-quality positives. Invasión was premiered at the Cannes International Film Festival during the first Directors Fortnight and won an award later in 1969 at the Locarno International Film Festival.
