Pablo Larraín | Chili, Spain | 2016 | color | DCP | 107 min | Spanish | d.s.
Santiago, 1948. Police inspector Oscar Peluchonneau (Gael García Bernal) is ordered by president Videla to hunt down poet and politician Pablo Neruda (Luis Gnecco) who has openly criticized the right-wing regime. For the flamboyant and brilliant poet, the persecution offers heroic potential: a chance to become a symbol of freedom and a literary legend all at the same time. He starts writing ‘Canto General’, an over fifteen thousand lines chronicle-in-poetry of Latin America. Nobody has ever written a poem that size for the people. Neruda goes into hiding but deliberately leaves traces, engaging the inspector in a game of cat and mouse.
Tragicomic and sometimes surreal film about Nobel Prize winner Pablo Neruda. With beautifully lit scenes the viewer imagines himself in the history of Chile.

Pablo LARRAÍN (1976, Chile) studied Audio-Visual Communication at UNIACC University. He is a founding member of Fabula. In 2006 he made his debut film, Fuga. His second feature, Tony Manero, premiered in Cannes in 2008 and later won the KNF prize in Rotterdam. With his sequential films Post Mortem en No, he completed his trilogy about Chile under the Pinochet regime, and moved in a different but equally successful direction in 2015 with El Club. In 2016 he released two biographical films: Neruda, about the Chilean poet Pablo Neruda, and his English-language debut Jackie, about Jackie Kennedy Onassis.
