El Conde. 2023. Chile. Directed by Pablo Larraín. Screenplay by Larraín, Guillermo Calderón. With Jaime Vadell, Gloria Münchmeyer, Alfredo Castro. DCP. Courtesy Netflix. In Spanish and French; English subtitles. 110 min.
The lifeblood of any nation is its people, and as long as there have been nations there have been those who would feed off the people. Acclaimed director Pablo Larrain (No, Neruda, Spencer) has taken that truth and spun it into a horror-fable about his native Chile. Augusto Pinochet—“The Count,” as his family of sycophants calls him—is here reimagined as a 250-year-old vampire. After decades of bleeding his country dry, he has retired to the countryside, finally ready to end his undead life—but not before a cabal of characters tries to profit from his plundering past. Luminously shot by acclaimed cinematographer Ed Lachman, and winner of the Best Screenplay award at the 2023 Venice Film Festival, El Conde is bound to sink its teeth into you.
