Pablo Larraín’s follow-up to Jackie is this superb film, an 'anti-bio’ of one of Chile's most vital and intriguing figures: poet-diplomat and politician Pablo Neruda.

1948: Neruda finds himself on the wrong side of an anti-communist drive and is forced into hiding. Details of this exile are delivered in narration by Gael García Bernal, playing a detective who is part-antagonist, part-acolyte, to Luis Gnecco’s Neruda. Both actors bring considerable charm to their mutual pursuit, a beautifully shot dance in which it’s uncertain who is chasing whom.
