Chilean writer and director Pablo Larraín delivers a unique insight into a crucial moment in Chile's history. A brilliant advertising executive comes up with a clever campaign to defeat dictator Augusto Pinochet in Chile's 1988 referendum. Larraín delivers an utterly original vision that works as a time capsule and timeless "David vs Goliath" tale that's remarkable on several levels. Mexican super star Gael García Bernal delivers another solid performance in an already impressive career along with a solid supporting cast. Larraín and his stellar crew deliver an spectacular film that seamlessly blends new and archival footage in the most unique and original way possible. 1001 Films' coverage of the 65th Festival de Cannes.
