这部电影题目翻译方法有两种。通译（包括英文）是“圣地亚哥在下雨”，另一种翻法是“圣地亚哥的风暴”，涉及历史事件是智利民选总统萨尔瓦多·阿连德被后来智利军政府头子皮诺切克杀害，由此，詹明信意义上的六十年代终结了。
这部电影音乐是由阿根廷探戈大师阿斯特·皮亚佐拉创作的。BT上有个皮亚佐拉电影配乐的全集，包括索拉纳斯的《Sur》在内，4.7G，大半是flac文件，感兴趣的朋友可以去找找。用google关键词"Il pleut sur Santiago Astor Piazzolla"即可。
本片出品国家是法国和保加利亚，看到片尾字幕工作人员里“XX夫（-v）”一大群。片子主要讲法语，仅部分阿连德的讲话是原版西班牙语录音。显然不是实拍也不会是实拍。法国驻智利的记者占据了一个重要视点。查了一下导演Helvio Soto的资料，英文的很少，imdb提供资料如下：
Date of Birth:21 February 1930, Santiago, Chile（February 21）
Date of Death:29 November 2001, Santiago, Chile（November 29）

google一番未果，再从google图片搜索，结果连到两个比较有用的网页：

http://www.quepasa.cl/medio/articulo/imprimir/0,0,3255_5700_175170315,00.html
都是西班牙文网页。经过google翻译器，大概知道的信息如下：
1、Helvio Soto一度流亡法国。
2、2001年死于肺癌。
3、1969年拍过一个貌似很牛的关于太平洋战争的片子《Caliche sangriento》（Bloody Nitrate，姑且译作“血腥硝石矿”，“was a critical look at the conflict between Chile, Peru and Bolivia.”目前一批专家正在修复这个片子。最近Helvio Soto被智利重新关注也来自这个片子。
后来又搜到一个网页（还是通过google图片）：

有一段关于Helvio Soto的介绍：（google翻译后的）

His filmography continues with "It's raining on Santiago," his first film 'European', which portrays the days of the coup d'état, torture, abductions and disappearances, was acclaimed in Europe, Asia and North America, but banned by the Chilean dictatorship.
Helvio Soto lives in exile and returned to Chile but not until the nineties, where he begins a teaching career, which trains new generations of filmmakers, giving them a perspective of cinema as an artistic expression committed more than a purely commercial activity. He died on November 29, 2001 to 71 years.
