Plot

In 1948, the poet and Communist senator Pablo Neruda goes into hiding and is chased across Chile by a police inspector.

Sinekatalog’s take

Pablo Larraín's playful anti-biopic follows Neruda's flight from police as a fiction told by his pursuer. Witty, stylish and poetic, with Gael García Bernal, it reinvents the genre with imagination.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
