Directed by Pablo Larraín (Chile, 2008)
Raul, a psychopathic, middle-aged thug in Pinochet’s Chile, becomes obsessed with the disco king immortalized by John Travolta in “Saturday Night Fever.” Dreaming of winning a Tony Manero look-and-dance-alike contest, Raul devotes most of his time to perfecting his act and the rest wreaking shocking violence in this award-winning thriller from acclaimed Chilean filmmaker Pablo Larraín. 98 minutes. Spanish with English subtitles.
“More than an indelible portrait of a sociopath with the soul of a zombie, ‘Tony Manero’ is an extremely dark meditation on borrowed cultural identity.” — Stephen Holden, The New York Times

Post-Mortem
Directed by Pablo Larraín (Chile, 2010)
Directed by Pablo Larraín (Chile, 2010)
Set at the time of the 1973 coup in Chile, “Post Mortem” follows the path of Mario, a dour coroner’s assistant obsessed with his neighbor, a burlesque dancer. As his morgue begins to fill with bodies, and her left-wing friends are hunted down, the social fabric is torn asunder, revealing previously hidden destructive impulses. 98 minutes. Spanish with English subtitles.
“[Post Mortem] positively crackles with strangeness and an oppressive sense that the awfulness of what was happening was being ingested into the national bloodstream.” —Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian
