Pablo Larrain's Post Mortem - Trailer Inside

Post Mortem written & directed by Pablo Larrain who's other work includes Tony Manero which is about a serial killer who is obsessed with John Travolta's character in Saturday Night Fever, it sounds bizarre and maybe to some it is, but Pablo Larrain is creating some excellent stuff and his latest movie Post Mortem is no different in the realms of bizarre.

After watching the trailer this looks awesome, yet strangely bizarre and has me wondering what type of twisted story has Pablo got in-store for us. in a way it seems really disturbing, there is something that gives off an eerie presence but it has me salivating and clamouring for a UK/US release.

Post Mortem is set in Santiago in 1973 during the last days of the Chilean coup the film stars Alfredo Castro (Tony Manero) and Antonia Zegers (Life of Fish) the movie was recently shown at the Venice Film Festival and hopefully soon it will get an international release date set.
