Neruda
First screened in November 2016
Director: Pablo Larraín. Cast: Luis Gnecco, Gael García Bernal, Mercedes Morán, Alfredo Castro, Diego Muñoz, Alejandro Goic, Pablo Derqui, Emilio Gutiérrez Caba, Marcelo Alonso, Michael Silva, Francisco Reyes, Jaime Vadell, Néstor Cantillana. Screenplay: Guillermo Calderón.

Twitter Capsule: Martyrdom and persecution, reciprocally embellishing each other. Larraín's heady concepts as twisty and tight as a knot.

VOR:   I found this more provocative than Jackie as both deconstructed biopic and meditation on history. Unusual approach to poetry.
