Neruda, Pablo Larrain Chile - 2016 (107 Minutes) “Pablo Larraín’s semifantastical biopic is a warmhearted film about a hot-blooded man that is nonetheless troubled by a subtle, perceptible chill. Blending fact with invention, it tells the story of a confrontation between an artist, the Chilean poet Pablo Neruda, and an emerging dictatorship, and more generally illuminates the endless struggle between political authority and the creative imagination” (The New York Times). The pursuit of the poet (Luis Gnecco) by a melancholy but ruthless police inspector (Gael García Bernal) seems to be inspired by Alfred Hitchcock and Peter Sellers Pink Panther films with a touch of Fellini’s exuberance and of Latin American Magic Realism.
