He directed the HBO produced Chilean show "Prófugos" which aired three weeks ago. Impressive show. Curious fact: Pablo is the son of Magdalena Matte and Hernán Larraín, both right-wing personalities of the UDI party (extreme right), yet in both of his most well-know movies he deals with the miliatry coup and how it affects the behavior of the main characters: in the case of Post Mortem, it produces a moral haze in which the characters stumble about, not really aware of their actions, nor really caring. A sort of shared lunacy, if you will and as for Tony Manero, it is the Coup that is responsible for the deranged climate in which murder and disappearances become a daily event, so much so that these crimes have lost their shock factor and for a sociopath like Manero, this mood becomes the cloak for his actions.

Interesantes datos y reflexiones sobre el cine de este director chileno. Tony Manero me pareció brutal (ojalá el cine venezolano abordara algunos episodios de nuestra historia con la misma originalidad y riesgo)...Post-Mortem no he podido verla y Fuga no me atrapó, tanto así que abandoné su visionado a los 20 minutos. Su nuevo proyecto con Gael García Bernal suena estupendo. Saludos.
