Pablo Larraín
Plot
In Pinochet's Chile, an obsessive middle-aged man is intent on winning a television contest as a Tony Manero lookalike from Saturday Night Fever, and commits crimes along the way.
Sinekatalog’s take
Pablo Larraín's chilling drama follows a middle-aged dancer in Pinochet's Chile obsessed with imitating John Travolta. Alfredo Castro is unnerving, and the film's bleak murderous satire is a sharp study of dictatorship's rot.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
