About the Book

Pablo Larran is among the most prominent filmmakers in contemporary Chilean cinema. Having created a highly original cinematic language and established a focused critical dialogue about Chile's troubled contemporary history, his work presents an unflinching portrait of one of the most notorious regimes of modern Latin America (indeed, the world) and its problematic aftermath. In a straightforward, often surprising, and reliably controversial series of films, Larran never retreats in the face of violence or the painful truths that still undergird Chilean reality.
Assessing his work in the context of film aesthetics, philosophy, history, adaptation studies and cultural studies, ReFocus: The Films of Pablo Larran is the first book-length English-language anthology about this important director's cinema, offering a wide range of perspectives by a diverse range of international scholars.

Review :
ReFocus. The Films of Pablo Larrain will no doubt serve as a tremendous resource with keen essays throughout as Larrain continues to make movies – and as more viewers and scholars come to familiarize themselves with his challenging works. This new book on Pablo Larraín is comprehensive – it investigates the early films as well as the masterpieces, El club (2015), and Neruda (2016) – and it reveals Larraín as not only Chile’s most important film director but the twenty-first-century master of the precise point in cinematic space where cinematography intersects with politics.  A joy to read!
