Full Plot Details

Raúl, a middle-aged, unemployed man, is obsessed by the character Tony Manero, who John Travolta plays in the film "Saturday Night Fever". He tries to imitate Travolta's impersonation in every detail, to be able to perform the most perfect Tony Manero himself. Raúl lives in a shabby house in Santiago. In a spacious room the landlady Wilma has a simple stage, where Raúl and some other tenants rehearse a show in Tony Moreno style. The young performers Goyo and Pauli are involved in underground activities against the Pinochet regime. Goyo gives some political flyers to a man. Raúl tails the man, and happens to see the secret police shooting him. After a while Raúl returns to the corpse, and steals the man's wristwatch. He goes to a junk dealer, where he swaps the watch for some thick glass bricks. He needs these for the stage floor, to be able to light up the show from beneath, just as in the film. In need of more glass bricks, he kills the junk dealer and steals the bricks. In his new Tony Moreno dress Raúl is on his way to a look-alike contest in TV Chile, when the secret police enters the house to arrest Pauli and other political suspects. Raúl succeeds to sneak away over the roof, and continues to the TV studio.

Movie Reviews

Slant Magazine - 9/10 by Nick SchagerA magnificently deranged study of overboard pop-culture fandom and authoritarian rule's destructive effect on its citizenry.
Filmcritic.com - 8/10 by Chris CabinFilms are, in a way, just collective fantasies... and, in some cases, nightmares
Capital Times (Madison, WI) - 8/10 by Rob ThomasLarrain's film is primarily a character study of Raul, an unpleasant but unforgettable man who is part "King of Comedy" Robert DeNiro, part "Cape Fear" DeNiro.
Los Angeles Times - 8/10 by Kevin ThomasLarrain evokes the bleakness and oppressiveness of life in a police state with much subtlety even as he poses a much larger question about cultural imperialism.
Times (UK) - 8/10 by James ChristopherThe brilliance of Tony Manero is that it is so black-hearted. There are no forgivable souls within miles. The squalor is a masterclass in tack. The ghoulish hook is that it is totally compelling.
Total Film - 8/10 by Neil SmithThanks to Castro's creepy turn, this offbeat tale of a loon locked in his own disco inferno is strange enough to give anyone the heebie-Bee Gees. That said, some may find it hard to take an anti-hero without one redeeming feature.
Uncut Magazine [UK] - 8/10 by Stephen DaltonA highly original portrait of a sociopath in a corrupt, festering, morally bankrupt society, this bleakly funny psycho-horror movie makes for clammy, compulsive viewing.
EmanuelLevy.Com - 8/10 by Emanuel LevyA highlight of the Cannes Fest, Larrain's Tony Manero, Chile's Oscar entry, is a poignant study of the excessive impact of pop culture (Travolta's Saturday Night fever) on one deranged man, set amidst Pinochet's dictatorship of the 1970s.
The List - 8/10 by Kaleem AftabThe fear and confusion that state of affairs caused amongst everyday Chileans is shown through Peralta's depravity and sinister criminal turn.
Time Out - 7/10 by Wally HammondThis tough, impassive, marvellous second feature from young Chilean Pablo Larraín exhibits a candour and keen eye for its 'lower depths' milieu worthy of Pasolini at his most austere and non-judgmental.
