In May, 2002 they are fulfilled 30 years from beginning filmation of this movie in several leases of Chile (Santiago, Viña del Mar, Valparaíso and its "Independent Playa Ancha Republic).
Was in the second year of the socialistic government of the President Allende and the tension that is perceived in the movie was the one that already was living through the country a year before the military coup of 1973.
Chileans 🇨🇱 only could see this movie un automm 2001 and only in Normandie art cinema, in Tarapacá stret of central Santiago, that exhibited it for two weeks.
In 2001'winter an extensión of this review was published in the political magazine "El Periodista", with the list of 34 🇨🇱 actors who had participated in the film. Today, july 2024, only 11 survived.
In may, 2002 the channel of French cable TV5 exhibited "State of Siege" four times, which has allowed a deeper critical review and to recognize a series of places of the Chile of 30 years ago, which already do not exist or which are now deeply modified. Besides the climate of the epoch there is perceived the precarious or simple car equipment that Chileans were having in that epoch in which the cars of luxury were the Dodge Dart Chrysler (assembled in the northern port of Arica) and the Peugeot 404 (assembled in Los Andes, 100 kms. From Santiago). The car of the well-off middle class was the Fiat 125 and en their juvenile sectors the ideal was a Mini Austin 850. In the installed middle class there were meeting old Renault 4S (the "renolas" o "renoletas"), VW beetles, Simca 1000 and principally the popular one Citroen 2CV, known like "citroneta" o "citrola". The movie allows to see brief the juvenile or young faces of approximately 30 actors, the majority today mature and well known and to wonder for the identities of others that probably retired, they did not come back from exile or were murdered or disappear during the dictatorship. In short an intelligent and nervous "thriller", in "Z" style, which showing the hard political reality of Uruguay between 1970 and 1972.
"Etat de Siege" allows a nostalgic look and indicative on the Chile that was on the way to disappear due the coup d'Etat 11 september 1973.
