The second installment of Larraín’s Pinochet trilogy, Post Mortem traces a mismatched love affair that unfolds between a mortician (Alfredo Castro) and a cabaret dancer against the chilling apocalyptic backdrop of Chile’s descent into chaos following Pinochet’s 1973 coup. An eerie portrait of a violently disturbing time, Post Mortem is an unspeakably gripping tale of how the personal becomes the political and, ultimately, the historical.
