Aro Favourite No

 

Chile 2012, 118 minutes
Dir. Pablo Larrain
In Spanish with English subtitles
Rating: [M]
Genres: Foreign Cinema, Drama

Topics: Politics, Media, Period 1980s.

 

Aroview: Gael Garcia Bernal plays an ad executive who conceives a campaign to defeat Augusto Pinochet in Chile's 1988 referendum in this unique celebration of democracy at work.

Shot on 1980's-style U-matic videotape stock, the low-rent aesthetic looks and feels authentic and appropriate, and the film's treatment has a levity that reflects and compliments the ironic spirit of a campaign against a notorious dictator. Required viewing for students of either media or politics, while for others it's an utterly fascinating and unique piece of political history turned into an accessible entertainment.
