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.

A lovely and unusual film. Beautiful in every aspect: screenplay, music, visuals, acting.
I found the meta elements in the script fun. And Gael Garcia Bernal's performance was good. His eyes were so pretty and sad. Poor Oscar, looking for Neruda, looking for his father, looking for himself. The lighting was very pretty as well.

Read lessI had no idea of Neruda's role in communist leadership and political influence! Glad to know.
But yeah one watch is good enough for me...
linda pelicula con partes de su poesia.
Silvia was my favorite character.
Lovely. beautifully paced. dreamy.
Excellent movie, I felt like listening to a story rather than watching a movie purely for entertainment.
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.
Wow, even in reading subtitles, the film is quite powerful.
