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