Neruda
Directed by the award-winning filmmaker Pablo Larrain ("Jackie"), this Golden Globe-nominated film features international star Gael Garcia Bernal as a policeman chasing Pablo Neruda, perhaps the most important poet of the 20th century and a hugely influential political figure.
Blending visual grandeur and literary wit, NERUDA is a beguiling reinvention of the 'standard' cinematic biography. Playfully confounding expectations at every turn, the film offers a startling rumination on the split between the person and persona, the man and the artist.
Nominated for a Golden Globe for Best Motion Picture - Foreign Language. Winner of Best Actor and the Cine Latino Award at the Palm Springs International Film Festival.

I enjoyed this film especially the unexpected ending
Oh La La: Magnifiq, Excelente, que pelicula tan genuina, hermosa, historica; de hechos verdaderos, los escenarios, los actores, la musica, y lo que se aprende de ella, parte de la historia de Neruda y los que creyeron en el , como su amigo Picasso. 10 1/2 stars.
unfamiliar with historic events--as a movie I found it strained and wanting
Great movie! It's a great opportunity to have this movie here!
<3 Spectacular film. Bravisimo. Highly recommended.
