Review of Tony Manero (2008) by Richard H — 24 Sep 2011
A totally bizarre film looking at politcal strife and obsession...
Following Castro's Raul as he strives to become his favourite movie character (Tony Manero from Sat Night Fever) and the crimes tthat he commits in order to do this is a striking and uncomfortable experience. Driven by jealousy and obsession and the need to stay out of the way of Pinochet's regime, this is quite unlike anything else out there...
The main issue is that there is not one likeable character to root for in all of this madness. Fascinating to be sure but a challenging watch....
