Chilean Pablo Larraín directed by and co-wrote (with Guillermo Calderón) El Conde, a horror black comedy that portrays Chilean dictator Augusto Pinochet as a 250-year-old vampire seeking death.
The film stars Jaime Vadell, Gloria Münchmeyer, Alfredo Castro, and Paula Luchsinger.
El Conde premiered at the 2023 Venice Film Fest, where it won the best Screenplay Award.
It was released on Netflix on Sept 15, 2023, four days after the 50th anniversary of the 1973 coup d’etat, in which Pinochet seized power.
The film received an Oscar nomination for Ed Luchman’s Best Cinematography.
