help Pablo Larraín FAQ
Are Jackie, Spencer and Maria part of an official trilogy?
They are not a continuous narrative, but all three are unconventional portraits of famous women under intense public scrutiny. Natalie Portman plays Jacqueline Kennedy, Kristen Stewart plays Diana, Princess of Wales, and Angelina Jolie plays Maria Callas.
Why does No use old-looking video footage?
Larraín shot No in a low-resolution video format resembling the television technology used in Chile during the 1988 plebiscite campaign. This allows the drama, starring Gael García Bernal, to blend closely with archival material.
What period of Chilean history does Tony Manero depict?
The film is set during Augusto Pinochet's dictatorship and follows a man obsessed with John Travolta's character from Saturday Night Fever. Alfredo Castro plays the disturbingly single-minded protagonist.
Is Pablo Larraín's Neruda a conventional biography?
No. The 2016 film turns poet Pablo Neruda's flight from the Chilean authorities into a playful pursuit story narrated by a possibly invented police inspector, played by Gael García Bernal.
