MADE IN CHILE - TWO FILMS BY PABLO LARRAIN

Network Releasing is proud to announce the DVD release of MADE IN CHILE: TWO FILMS BY PABLO LARRAIN which not only includes not only the critically acclaimed POST MORTEM but also Larrain’s astonishing directorial debut TONY MANERO.

 

POST MORTEM:

 

Santiago, 1973. Mario Cornejo (Alfredo Castro) works at a morgue, typing out reports on autopsies performed by the coroners. On the days leading up to the military coup resulting in Salvador Allende’s death, he gets involved in a love affair with Nancy (Antonia Zegers), a dancer from the cabaret Bim Bam Bum. The story of this apparently charmless and insignificant couple is Chile’s story during the infamous military coup. Larrain uses Mario’s ideal of conquering the impossible love of a woman as the ideal of a nation trying to conquer a noble but unattainable political model (socialism). All this amid the bodies of those who died as a result of military ideals imposed with no care for their cost or consequences.

 

TONY MANERO:

 

Chile, 1979. Fifty-something Raul Peralta is obsessed with John Travolta’s character from Saturday Night Fever and will do anything, including mindless, gruesome murder of the innocents, to win the national Tony Manero impersonation competition…
