Neruda
An inspector hunts down Nobel Prize-winning Chilean poet, Pablo Neruda, who becomes a fugitive in his home country in the late 1940s for joining the Communist Party.
It is 1948 and the Cold War has reached the Chilean border. During a
congress, Senator Pablo Neruda (Luis Gnecco) accuses the government of betraying
the Communist Party, for which President Gonzalez Videla (Alfredo Castro)
removes him from office. Subsequently, the police prefect (Gael García Bernal)
is charged with the poet's arrest. Neruda attempts to flee the country with his
wife, the painter Delia del Carril, but fails to do so and the two are forced
into hiding for over a year. Inspired by the dramatic events of his new life,
Neruda writes an epic collection of poems, Canto General (The Great Song). In
this story of a persecuted poet and his implacable enemy, Neruda sees his
opportunity to become both a symbol of freedom and a literary legend.
Pablo Larraín's (Jackie) original biopic premiered at Cannes and was nominated
for a Golden Globe.
