The last movie I saw in the cinema it's called "Tony Manero" (2008) directed by Pablo Larraín. He's a movie director (another famous movie it's "FUGA", with Benjamín Vicuña).
The main actor is Alfredo Castro, "Raúl Peralta" in the movie. The story begins when he goes to TV studio because he wants to take part in a contest of television. He represents "Tony Manero", (extracted from "Saturday Night Fever" with John Travolta). Alfredo Castro in his performance, thinks he is the chilean version of Tony Manero and he is obsessed with this movie. He is the fan that everyone wants to have.
But, his obsession is very complicated to understand. He kills people to get his aims. But the most peculiar of this, it's that his homicides are very ridiculous. This film is set in years of dictatorship in Santiago de Chile, when things were very expensive and exclusive. (This could be an explication of his crimes).
Finally, he goes to TV show, and there appears Enrique Maluenda, in the "Festival de la 1". This is clasical and everybody remembers the main phrase "Hola que tal... FESTIVAL!". He was the contestant more prepared, because he practiced the "original dance" (he knows every step,he saw "S.N.F" many times), but he didn't win.

I think this movie represents another kind of movies... something more 'vanguardist' (I don't know if it's correct this word)." Tony Manero "is a story about loss of identity and obsession in the recent history of Chile.
I want to qualify this movie with a: "INTERESTING", because as I say, it shows you a topic not usual and common.

Hello, Paulina! How is it going?
That‘s a very good review. You include a lot of information and explain very clearly what the movie is about.
I corrected some things:
The last movie I saw in the cinema IS called "Tony Manero" (2008) directed by Pablo Larraín. He's a movie director (another famous movie BY LARRÌN IS "FUGA", with Benjamín Vicuña).
KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!

Alfredo Castro, in his performance, thinks he is the Chilean version of Tony Manero and he is obsessed with this movie. He is the fan that everyone wants to have.
But, his obsession is very complicated to understand. He kills people to REACH his 0BJECTIVES. But the most peculiar of this is that his homicides are very ridiculous. This film is set in THE years of dictatorship in Santiago de Chile, when things were very expensive and exclusive. (This could be an EXPLANATION of his crimes).
Finally, he goes to TV show, and there appears Enrique Maluenda, in the "Festival de la 1". This is A clasical and everybody remembers the main phrase "Hola que tal... FESTIVAL!". He was the MOST PREPARED contestant because he HAD practiced the "original dance" (he knows every step,BECAUSE he saw "S.N.F" many times), but he didn't win.
I think this movie represents A NEW kind of movies... something more 'AVANT-GARDE' (I don't know if THIS IS THE CORRECT word)." Tony Manero "is a story about loss of identity and obsession in the recent history of Chile.
I want to RATE this movie with aN: "INTERESTING", because as I say, it shows you a topic not usual and common.
