Synopsis
Mario (Alfredo Castro from TONY MANERO) is an unassuming state employee who transcribes notes during autopsies. Furtive and lonely, he becomes obsessed with his neighbor, the dancehall girl Nancy (Antonia Zegers), who is involved with a group of left-wing activists. With the coup, and the death of President Salvador Allende, Nancy’s friends are hunted down, and Mario’s hospital becomes clogged with the bodies of dissenters. Soon the violence filters into Mario’s psyche, and he begins to break down, much like his country.
POST MORTEM is the second of three films by the acclaimed Chilean director Pablo Larraín that Cine Las Americas and partners will present this Spring. TONY MANERO opened the series in February. Stay tuned for news about NO (2012).
CineNoche is a film series presented in partnership with Violet Crown Cinema.
This screening is co-sponsored by the Department of Spanish & Portuguese at The University of Texas at Austin.
