Dialogues of the Exiled 1975 Raoul Ruiz semi-documentary of a group of Chilean exiles soon after arriving in Paris from their homeland in which the Democratically elected government was overthrown by a military coup d’état lead by General Augusto Pinochet. Ruiz has injected humor into an episodic view of the exiles attempting to come to grips with a new life and maintain their hold on their national identity which seems to have rankled them as they didn’t want the film shown, Here the film has been restored and made available on DVD. Curiously no mention was made of the role of the US in the coup which resulted in the murder of President Allende.

The group were almost all communists.
