El club

In an unassuming building by the sea, an investigator probes the past deeds of exiled priests: the paedophilia of priests put on trial, a theme that, in a country with such deep Catholic roots, stirred up a hornet’s nest. The wordless images and muted tones accentuate the discomfort that we feel at the premise of the film. A fierce, clinical analysis, sometimes painfully funny, which confirms Pablo Larrain’s status as a standard-bearer for Chilean cinema. Grand Jury Prize at Berlin.
