Product Description

Product Description

Gritty crime drama set in late 1970s Chile during the early years of the harsh dictatorship of General Augusto Pinochet. Alfredo Castro stars as Raul Peralta, a middle-aged Santiago low-life who becomes obsessed with impersonating Tony Manero, the character played by John Travolta in the hit film 'Saturday Night Fever'. When the national television channel announces a contest for the best impersonation of Tony Manero's dance moves, Raul's obsession reaches new heights and he is driven to commit a series of increasingly brutal crimes to ensure his success.

I thought this was a comedy when I saw the trailer, but I was more wrong than a greased down gentleman's comb over. Speaking of `Grease' that is what inspired this film, well John Travolta anyway. The central character is Raul Peralta (Alfredo Castro) and he is a fifty two year old man in downtown Santiago of 1978. The whole world has contracted `Saturday Night Fever' and whilst lip synching to Bee Gees numbers loads of folk went out to learn the moves. Well Peralta did too and he also decided that he would actually become Tony Manero!

So he goes off and gets the suit and shirt made. He works at some flea pit night club where he puts on dance shows and has all the control freakery of a backstage diva having a fit over the wrong mineral water. He dyes his hair and constantly goes to the cinema to perfect his moves and learn every line of the film. Then he hears of a look a likie talent show on TV and he realises that he can be Chiles own Tony Manero and get the recognition he deserves. Only he turns up a week early and almost enters the Chuck Norris Look a likie show by mistake. Undeterred he deigns to recreate the glass dance floor from the film back at the ropey club. Only he can't afford the proper glass so opts for gardening glass bricks instead - genius.

However even though all of the above was great fun, we also see a side to him that is as harrowing as the Pinochet years themselves, he is a psychopath who will stop at nothing and no-one to get exactly what he wants. There is a lot of grubby bedroom grunting along the way and his under pants really could do with seeing the inside of a washing machine, but I found this absolutely absorbing, not the pants though, mind you they had absorbed quite a bit by the looks of them.

Expecting a tribute to John Travolta's character in Saturday Night Fever? Well, forget it. This is no film for the feint-hearted in this gritty thriller set in Chile under Pinochet, a time when many opposing the regime struggled to stay alive.

Stage actor Alfredo Castro is superb as Raul, an inarticulate fifty-something male obsessed with John Travolta's character from Saturday Night Fever. Chilling, brutal and at times shockingly funny, who may feel dirty after watching this but it is nonetheless a fantastic piece of world cinema.

Great film and very well acted. You remember it long after finishing it and is worth a second watch too. Brutal in places but a great representation of life in Chile under the Pinochet dictatorship.

My criteria for a good movie is how much I think about it afterwards. This has a budget feel about it lending itself to the atmosphere as does Alfredo Castros dispassionate performance. Life had become cheap under Pinochets (Margaret Thatchers special friend) dreadful dictatorship. The lead characters stupid obsession is what the movie is all about, surrounded by people of low intelligence with no goal, living in a "morally bankrupt society"

It is a very slow & uninspiring film. You could be forgiven for falling asleep during the very basic disco scenes
