Official Trailer for Pablo Larraín's 'El Conde' About a Vampire Pinochet

"All generals who win wars are entitled to ransack." Netflix has revealed the first official trailer for Pablo Larraín's surprise new Chilean film titled El Conde, shot in B&W, which will be premiering at the 80th Venice Film Festival in the Main Competition in just a few weeks. "I have spent years imagining Pinochet as a vampire, as a being that never stops circulating through history, both in our imagination and nightmares. Vampires do not die, they do not disappear, nor do the crimes and thefts of a dictator who never faced true justice." Larraín's El Conde re-imagines the brutal Chilean dictator Augusto Pinochet - he is not actually dead, rather just an aged vampire. After living 250 years in this world, he has decided to die once and for all. It's yet another clever satire from Larraín, who has included Pinochet in many of his films previously, such as No. Larraín is aiming for the vibe of Dr. Strangelove with this one. "If for a brief second you can laugh at a tragedy, maybe that can be an act of healing." El Conde stars Jaime Vadell as Vampire Augusto, Gloria Münchmeyer, Alfredo Castro, and Paula Luchsinger. Yeah this looks like it's going to be really good. // Continue Reading ›
