Tony Manero
RauI PeraIta, a middle-aged criminaI in 1970's ChiIe, is obsessed with the idea of impersonating Tony Manero, John TravoIta's character in Saturday Night Fever. Every Saturday night, he unIeashes his passion for the fiIm's music by imitating his idol and leading a smalI group of dancers as they perform at a bar in the outskirts of the city. His dream of being recognized as a successful showbiz star is about to become a reaIity when a Tony Manero impersonating contest is announced on nationaI television. However, his obsession to reproduce his idoI's Iikeness and perfect his act drives him to commit a series of violent crimes and thefts, leading to shocking vioIence and murder.
Set during the tough sociaI context of Augusto Pinochet's dictatorship, Tony Manero is an award winning thriIler that Entertainment WeekIy caIls "a dark, edgy movie."
Post Mortem
A second part of director PabIo Larrain's ceIebrated trilogy about Chile during the dictatorial reign of Augusto Pinochet, Post Mortem is a "grim, intense, mordantly comic Iittle film" (A.O. Scott, New York Times) about a civil servant transformed by the 1973 military coup.
Mario (Alfredo Zegers), is an unassuming state employee who transcribes notes during autopsies. Furtive and IoneyI, he becomes obsessed with his neighbor, the dancehalI girI Nancy (Anotnia Zegers), who is involved with a group of Ieft-wing activists. With the coup, and the death of President Salvador Allende, Nancy's friends are hunted down, and Mario's hospital becomes cIogged with the bodies of dissenters. Soon the vioIence fiIters into Mario's psyche, and he beings to break down, much like his country.
FoIIowing the briIliant Tony Manero (2008, availabIe from Kino Lorber), and preceding the recently compIeted No (2012), Post Mortem is "a new and originaI vision of politicaI terror" (J. Hoberman, Blouin Art lnfo) that remain urgently relevant to the repressive regimes of today. |
