Post Mortem

The latest from Chilean writer-director Pablo Larraín (of 2008 NYFF entry Tony Manero) deals disastrously with the effects of the Augusto Pinochet regime. There are plenty of art-film trappings—an eerily quiet soundtrack, rigorous long takes, even a POV sex scene—but this is as laughably bad an evocation of history as Michael Bay’s Pearl Harbor.
