Chile, 1948: Senator Pablo Neruda, diplomat and future NobeI Prize-winning poet, accuses the government of betraying the Communist Party and is swiftly impeached. Pursued by the police, Neruda and his artist wife are forced into hiding and an intimate game of cat and mouse begins.
In Europe, the legend 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 GeneraI, capturing the turmoil of a Latin America in crisis.
Paying homage to a mercuriaI creator who is impossibIe to pin down in conventional biography, this playful, inventive feature by Oscar-nominated Pablo Larrain is the story of the escape, the investigation and the literary legend of a man once haiIed as "the greatest poet of the 20th century". Starring Luis Gnecco and Gael Garcia BernaI, the fiIm pIays out Iike a road movie, inviting us to soar aIongside Neruda in his poetry, his memory, and his deeply held sometimes paradoxicaI poIiticaI ideaIs. |
