Award Winning Independent Cinema

Neruda is an 'anti-bio’ of one of Chile's most vital and intriguing figures: poet-diplomat and politician Pablo Neruda. It's a brilliantly ambiguous portrait of an often venal and hypocritical man who nevertheless deserves his heroic status as a key figure in Chile’s struggle. 1948: Neruda is on the wrong side of an anti-communist drive and is forced into hiding. Bernal is the detective looking for him. An incredibly satisfying film; the final scenes, played against the jaw-dropping scenery of the snowy Andes, are equal parts answer and question to the searching questions asked by Larraín throughout.
