    Collection of six films by Chilean director Pablo Larraín. In 'Fuga' (2006) a classical composer descends into madness after the memories of his sister's rape and murder revisit him. In the confines of a mental institution, he attempts to write a composition on the walls. When his work is stolen by a music student, grave consequences ensue. In 'Tony Manero' (2008) a man becomes obsessed with emulating John Travolta's character in the film 'Saturday Night Fever' (1977). Completely immersed in the character of Tony Manero, Raul Peralta (Alfredo Castro) commits increasingly brutual crimes driven by the urge to win an impersonation contest. In 'Post Mortem' (2010) morgue worker Mario (Castro) is infatuated with his neighbour Nancy (Antonia Zegers), a dancer. When she disappears after a military raid on her home, he hurriedly begins to search for her. In 'No' (2012) dictator Augusto Pinochet initiates a referendum to determine the continuity of his position of power. A young advertising executive René Saavedra (Gael García Bernal) is recruited by the opposition to lead their campaign. In 'The Club' (2015) four exiled Catholic priests now in retirement share an isolated house outside a small beach town, in an attempt to cleanse their souls after committing sins such as child abuse and kidnap. Their stay is soon disturbed by a new priest who joins the four and is followed by his troubled past. Finally, in 'Neruda' (2016), Chilean poet Pablo Neruda (Luis Gnecco) is being chased down by fascist inspector Óscar Peluchonneau (Bernal) for joining the Communist Party in the 1940s. The two strike an unlikely friendship, inspiring Neruda to compose a new collection of poetry.

  • Neruda [DVD]Neruda | DVD | (10/07/2017) from £9.99   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £N/A

    Chile, 1948: Senator Pablo Neruda, diplomat and future Nobel Prize-winning poet, accuses the government of betraying the Communist Party and is swiftly impeached. Pursued by the police, Neruda and his artist wife are forced into hiding and an intimate game of cat and mouse begins. In Europe, the legend of the poet hounded by the policeman grows and artists led by Picasso call for his freedom. Neruda, meanwhile, inspired by his transformative new life as a fugitive, writes his epic collection of poems, Canto General, capturing the turmoil of a Latin America in crisis. Paying homage to a mercurial creator who is impossible to pin down in conventional biography, this playful, inventive feature by Oscar-nominated Pablo Larrain is the story of the escape, the investigation and the literary legend of a man once hailed as the greatest poet of the 20th century . Starring Luis Gnecco and Gael Garcia Bernal, the film plays out like a road movie, inviting us to soar alongside Neruda in his poetry, his memory, and his deeply held sometimes paradoxical political ideals.
