    【Taipei Golden Horse Film Festival Screening】The poet's escape and being chased are photographed in a poetic way, and the policeman who is the chaser either fell in love with Neruda, or his poems, or fell in love with him The pursuit of Neruda. All in all, it's a mystery, and it's gods and gods. I slept many times in between. At the end, the sun on the snowy mountain has too many light spots on the lens, but it destroys the smooth...

    Three and a half, the so-called "red elements" once again became the protagonist of the screen, but this time it appeared in an extremely poetic and literary way. A long political poem can follow in the footsteps of great men, even if its opposite exists, there should be no regrets. North America has Paterson, Asia has roadside picnics, and South America has Neruda. There is no shortage of poetic life in this...

    The relationship between the pursuer and the fugitive forms a wonderful intertext, like the rhythm of a verse ringing again and...

    It would be good if it were a novel, but movies are video art. It's annoying...

    Since it is a biography of a poet, the film seems to have a kind of poetry flowing. I see the chasing detectives as a following, mingling perspective, and although they only meet at the end, it seems as if they have long been fettered in the process of escape-hunting. On the surface, Neruda was the target of persecution, but in reality, the detectives were just following Neruda's great personality. Therefore, he can only be the footnote of this film and the footnote of Neruda's wonderful life,...

    Demonstrates how to tell a poet's biography in the highest literary form. It is the deconstruction of poetry, the achievement of poetry, and the pursuit and dialogue between poetry and...

    When eating buns, you never think about the sun, because wrapping your belly is just for survival. Don't worry about the rain when drinking coffee, because laziness is for life. We live in an era when we have steamed buns but don’t know how to taste coffee. We yearn for poetry, but there is no real pain and struggle. The only thing we lose is the bottomless house price and unwilling dreams. It wasn't just Neruda that was hunting down, it was the wingless...

    The temperament of this play is too strange, the retro mixed with the postmodern (even the driving scenes are deliberately faked by the early studios), the intercut of the dialogue scene is both real and magical, from a little boring to finally brewing a magical poetry. . Such a bold way to shoot real people is really...

    Sure enough, the ratings are divided into two levels. In fact, this is the South American version of "Patterson", with more psychedelic-style narratives, and the same poetic feeling. Very beautiful, love each other and kill each other, and the spirits fit together on the snow...

    Love Neruda's poems. Obviously the plot is to hunt down Neruda, but the narrative style and camera language are very calm, too calm. The lines are indeed very poetic, but the narration from the police point of view is a bit strange. The film as a whole is superficial, and the portrayal of Neruda's characters is not deep,...

Neruda quotes

  • Óscar Peluchonneau: [voiceover about the Pisagua concentration camp] I even have a truck, and a zoo in the middle of the desert. Those who try to escape turn into pillars of salt. But no one ever escapes, because the prison captain is a blue-eyed fox. His name is Augusto Pinochet.

  • Pablo Neruda: Police novels help me forget the police are after me.
