Neruda
54th New York Film Festival
September 30 - 11, 2016
Pablo Larraín’s exciting, surprising, and colorful new film is a “Nerudean” portrait of the great Chilean poet’s years of flight and exile, featuring Luis Gnecco, Gael García Bernal as a fictional detective, and a terrific cast.
Pablo Larraín’s exciting, surprising, and colorful new film is not a biopic but, as the director himself puts it, a “Nerudean” portrait of the great Chilean poet Pablo Neruda’s years of flight and exile after his 1948 denunciation of his government’s leadership. Larraín’s heady blend of fact and fancy (the latter embodied in an invented character, straight out of detective fiction, played by Gael García Bernal) is many things at once: a loving, kaleidoscopic recreation of a particular historical moment; a comical cat-and-mouse game; and a pocket epic. Featuring Luis Gnecco, a dead ringer for the poet and a formidable actor, alongside a terrific cast. An NYFF54 selection. Released by The Orchard..
Unlikely, often surreal and incredibly entertaining.
—Benjamin Lee, The Guardian
A highly original investigation of the truth-fiction divide.
—David Rooney, The Hollywood Reporter
Constantly surprising.
—Eric Kohn, Indiewire
[A] stunningly inventive take on the function rather than the life of a writer.
—Jay Weissberg, Variety
