!NO! (2012)

Also Known As: -
Year of first release: 2012
Director: Pablo Larraín
Actors: Gabriel García Bernal
Country: RCH, F, USA
Genre: Thriller
Conditions of visioning: 13.03.2013, Schauburg, OV
Synopsis: An ad executive comes up with a campaign to defeat Augusto Pinochet in Chile's 1988 referendum.
Review: From the historical point of view the movie is very interesting. On top of it, it is good to have books and movies to work on such a burdening history. The rythm of the story is good and the viewer is involved emotionally into the private life of René Saavedra and into the fight for freedom of the his customers. The acting of García Bernal is very good and so the other actors. I do not like the graphical concept, the light and the camera movement, which makes the movie sometimes heavy to watch. The scenery is very realistic and this pays in particular in a couple of scenes where the police goes on to the masses of partying people.  
Rating: 5 /10

  1. Having to often go to Chile for work (and being there currently), I would be interested in watching this movie.
