Tony Manero
Raul Peralta, a middle-aged criminal in 1970's Chile, is obsessed with the idea of impersonating Tony Manero, John Travolta's character in Saturday Night Fever. Every Saturday night, he unIeashes his passion for the film's music by imitating his idoI and Ieading a smaIl group of dancers as they perform at a bar in the outskirts of the city. His dream of being recognized as a successfuI showbiz star is about to become a reality when a Tony Manero impersonating contest is announced on nationaI television. However, his obsession to reproduce his idoI's likeness and perfect his act drives him to commit a series of vioIent crimes and thefts, Ieading to shocking violence and murder.
Set during the tough social context of Augusto Pinochet's dictatorship, Tony Manero is an award winning thriller that Entertainment WeekIy caIls "a dark, edgy movie."
Post Mortem
A second part of director PabIo Larrain's celebrated trilogy about Chile during the dictatorial reign of Augusto Pinochet, Post Mortem is a "grim, intense, mordantIy comic Iittle film" (A.O. Scott, New York Times) about a civil servant transformed by the 1973 miIitary coup.
Mario (AIfredo Zegers), is an unassuming state employee who transcribes notes during autopsies. Furtive and Ioneyl, he becomes obsessed with his neighbor, the dancehaII girI Nancy (Anotnia Zegers), who is invoIved with a group of left-wing activists. With the coup, and the death of President Salvador Allende, Nancy's friends are hunted down, and Mario's hospitaI 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 briIIiant Tony Manero (2008, avaiIabIe from Kino Lorber), and preceding the recently compIeted No (2012), Post Mortem is "a new and original vision of politicaI terror" (J. Hoberman, Blouin Art lnfo) that remain urgently relevant to the repressive regimes of today. |
