Why watch this film?
Forget about the usual biopics. ‘Neruda’ deconstructs the traditional format, foregoing the mission to portray each moment of Pablo Neruda’s career to dive into a point that is defining of the poet’s personality: the persecution by the Chilean government. The result is a clash between the author’s lyricism and the darkness of those times. A movie for cinema lovers, literature buffs, or for those who enjoy great political and fight stories.

Jackie
Natalie Portman's incredible performance as Jacqueline Kennedy brings both sides of the former First Lady to the big screen: the serene, well-mannered and glamorous woman from Washington; and the strong, determined woman who makes it clear without raising her voice that she can do anything for her family. Special mention also goes to the art direction and the almost exact recreation of Dallas and the White House in November 1963. Recommended for fans of good acting or historical reconstruction.
![The Club](https://media.filmelier.com/images/filmes/thumb/el-club89030.jpeg)
The Club
A psychological and complex criticism of the Church and its cases of pedophilia. The feature does not lose the impact of the subject it deals with, but even more so: it is complex and even scares us with its revelations. An excellent movie for denouncing.
![Tony Manero](https://media.filmelier.com/images/filmes/thumb/tony-manero80900.jpeg)
Tony Manero
Chilean Pablo Larraín's movie, a highlight at the 2008 Cannes Film Festival. An captivating production about the story of a man, during Augusto Pinochet's military dictatorship, obsessed with John Travolta's character Tony Manero from 'Saturday Night Fever'.

Ema
From Chilean filmmaker Pablo Larraín (director of 'Jackie', 'Neruda' and 'No'), 'Ema' is a powerful drama both visually and narratively. Screened at the 2019 Venice Film Festival, it is a film that tackles such diverse themes as female sexual liberation, the creative spirit of the arts, trauma, as well as contemporary family schemes, often far removed from the idea of children and marriage. Alongside Mexican Gael García Bernal, one of Larraín's recurring collaborators, Chilean actress Mariana Di Girolamo achieves a delicate yet impressive balance between composure and desperation in her performance, which you won't soon forget.

Cinematographers around the world are showing their perspectives on social isolation due to the coronavirus pandemic. Curated by Chilean director Pablo Larraín (‘Jackie’, ‘No’, and ‘The Club’), and his brother Juan de Dios Larraín, we follow 17 shorts with different views on this difficult period. Big names in cinema such as Paolo Sorrentino, Sebastián Lelio, Ladj Ly, Kristen Stewart, and Maggie Gyllenhaal are participating in the project. It's amazing to see how creativity can still stand out even if it's done from home or just showing their unhappy children with the new routine. It's an interesting idea from Netflix, which divided each short into an episode like a series; and from the Larraín brothers, showing that to make a movie you don't need big locations or even leave your residence.
![Spencer](https://media.filmelier.com/tit/2i5xd5/thumb/spencer_Wkj2cSc.jpeg)
Spencer
As director Pablo Larraín ("Jackie") defines it: "Spencer" is not a biopic, but rather a fable based on real events - literally in this case, since we are talking about royalty. Unlike the 2013 feature "Diana" starring Naomi Watts, here we get to know a playful story about a part of Princess Diana's life - impeccably portrayed by Kristen Stewart. As in Larraín's other works, "Spencer" is a delicate and slow film that focuses heavily on scene compositions creating an impeccable cinematography. The director brought out a side of Diana that goes beyond what has been seen of her before, emphasizing her psychological side and how her relationship with the Royal Family was troubled. This caused several problems with her health. As the story develops around Diana, all eyes turn to Kristen Stewart. The actress delivers one of her best performances, if not the best of her career.

![Como el mar](https://media.filmelier.com/tit/2aOlxO/thumb/como-el-mar_U5SEWNw.jpeg)
Como el mar
Como el mar is an Argentine film where a young woman, Azul (Zoe Hochbaum), discovers that her supposed older sister (Sofía Gala Castiglione) is actually her biological mother, and the mother who has just died was really her grandmother. Seeking answers about her father, they embark on a journey to Uruguay, where they must transform their bond. This road movie moves at a slow, contemplative pace, focusing more on exploring feelings than events, which may seem too simplistic for those looking for complex dramas. However, it's an emotional film, and the performance of the legendary Carmen Maura (Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown) is definitely worth watching.
![My First Film](https://media.filmelier.com/tit/qadJDP/thumb/my-first-film_SMEtMCI.jpeg)
My First Film
Many filmmakers spend their lives trying to sustain their creative careers, unaware of their missteps. In My First Film, the debut feature of director Zia Anger (who has created videos for artists like Mitski and Beach House), we see the opposite: a filmmaker who looks back and reconstructs what went wrong in her disastrous first attempt when she was younger. Past and present blend with reality and fiction (featuring artists like Odessa Young), in a film that recreates not just events but emotions. There are many meta and revisionist films, but My First Film is the most fascinating since 2018's Shirkers, at the very least.

Borders of Love
Petr and Hana, who after years together share their unspoken erotic fantasies. What begins as an innocent conversation gradually turns into experimentation with other partners and increasingly pushing the limits of just how far they can go with a non-monogamous relationship before it gets out of hand.
