Julio comienza en julio (1979) watch online

Julio Begins in July (Spanish: Julio comienza en julio) is a 1979 Chilean coming-of-age period film directed by Silvio Caiozzi and written by Gustavo Frías. It is one of the few Chilean feature films made and released in the first decade of the Pinochet dictatorship.

The film won the Golden Columbus Award at the 1979 Huelva Ibero-American Film Festival and the Chilean Critics' Circle Award for Best Film. In 1999, it was voted as the "best Chilean film of the 20th century" by the public in a poll organized by the Municipality of Santiago.

Critics regard it as one of the finest films in Chilean cinema, alongside Miguel Littín's The Jackal of Nahueltoro, Raúl Ruiz's Three Sad Tigers, Patricio Guzmán's The Battle of Chile, and Andrés Wood's Machuca.
