This is an amazing true story. The directing feels messy, but it’s clear that it was intended to imitate the mess that surrounded this story in real life.

Pinochet was one of several dictators that was installed by United States through the agency of the CIA. Why? We can only guess that the sitting Chilean president had left leanings which seems to piss off Americans to no end. (Health care? Oh no – that would be socialist!! Much better to let citizens die or go bankrupt trying to survive.)

The USA’s little puppet then proceeded to murder and torture thousands of Chileans. Quite probably, the US trained those torturers. The official count is 29,000, plus 3000 dead, plus an uncounted number of “desaparecidos” (mysteriously missing forever).

It is beneficial to first watch “Nostalgia de la Luz” which will help give you some understanding of Chileans’ relationship with Pinochet.

Interesting and informative movie about the events that started the transition in Chile from the dictatorship to the democracy.
Review By: Andres Gomez
a nostalgic celebration of a defining moment in a small country’s big history
Pablo Larrain’s “No” has been short listed for the academy award for best foreign language film, though I completely forgot about this as I was drawn in by the story, once the lights were back on and I started going over the film in my head, I was – though pleasantly – very surprised by the academy’s decision. Intermitted with the somewhat weak personal story of Rene with his son and ex-wife, a large part of the movie plays out in a celebratory tone as a trip down memory lane extravaganza for the Chilean collective conscious.

Now I don’t mean to say people not from Chile will not be able to enjoy this film, but starting in the first minutes with the commercial for FREE COLA to the part where they actually had now 94 year old ex President Aylwin in a cameo role that made me and my family jump up and scream “was that really him?” so much of the meat of this movie lies in its faithful reproduction of a sometimes uncomfortably near past for us Chileans.

This being said, audiences of all nations and sizes will be able to appreciate the mature and paced unraveling of this most unexpected work of cinema. The film does not seek to tackle the big unresolved conflicts of our long decades of dictatorship and the questionable transition to democracy (and this is perhaps appropriate given the history and context of the film director himself) but rather tells a story of an ad man and how he put in his two cents in a time of changing institutions and a time when a suddenly modern Chile was looking with optimism to a new millennium.

An inspirational film (slight spoilers)
I’ve seen No twice. The first viewing was at the London Film Festival and director Pablo Larrain graced the screening with his presence and conducted a Q/A afterwards. The second was more recent and follows the film’s release in the UK’s independent and art house cinemas. I was curious to see if I would enjoy the film as much on second viewing and to see what I may have missed from the first. Well I enjoyed the film more and appreciated its humour all the more as well.

Unlike other reviewers I do not think a viewer has to know about Chile’s history leading up to the 1988 official plebiscite with which this film is concerned. Everything you need to know about Chile following the Pinochet coup is shown in the film either as part of the characters’ dialogue or as actual footage. To increase the film’s authenticity it is filmed on old stock so that it segues with the archive footage. This technique gives the film a nostalgic flavour exploited to humorous effect throughout and especially when Saavedra acquires his first microwave oven.

In 1988 Pinochet bowed to international pressure and allowed the first free election since he and the military staged a coup to overthrow Allende’s elected government in the early 1970’s. The election was not a general election as such, where voters would choose which party they wanted to govern, but a vote of confidence in allowing Pinochet to continue. So voters would vote yes for Pinochet or no, meaning they wanted someone else but without choosing who or what. The film’s title represents the disparate sides (17 political parties) who united behind the ‘no’ campaign. Their main aim was to ensure people turned out to vote because early signs were that certain key groups (women in their 60’s and the youth) believed the election would change nothing and this belief would keep them away from voting. Because these two groups of the electorate had diverse aims and aspirations, as did the 17 political parties in opposition to Pinochet, there was the issue of how to unite people in the face of a murderous and bloody dictatorship in order to make effective use of the 15-minute slot they were allowed on TV over a 27-day period. Outside these 15 minutes TV was regulated by the state and no contrary opinion was permitted.

This is why the ad men mattered. If this film has one major triumph it is taking a novel approach to telling this part of Chile’s history. Namely from the view of the ad men and one in particular called Rene Saavedra (Gael Garcia Bernal), who is a fictional composite of the two ad men that led the ‘no’ campaign in reality. Saavedra gets the campaigners to focus on what is at the heart of the multiple agendas and interests of people and parties. The answer was a desire to move forward, away from the dark dangerous days filled with death, disappearances and pain and on into a brighter and happier future. Happiness became the manifesto offered by the ‘no’ side and to accompany this concept was the famous jingle (another clever marketing ploy) ‘Chile, happiness is coming’. It’s an infectious jingle that I hear every time I think of it and it’s one that inspires a person to sing and clap along, which creates more moments of humour on screen.

The film find its dramatic tension by focusing on Saavedra and his own struggles during the campaign. He has returned to Chile following a period of exile because his father was forced to flee the Pinochet regime. His wife Veronica, from whom he is estranged, is an ardent activist who is arrested and beaten on a regular basis. They have a young son, Simon, whose bewilderment throughout many of the events mirrors that of Saavedra’s and brings to mind what might have been Saavedra’s own experiences before his father fled with the family into exile. The problems and pain of living under Pinochet wears the human face of Saavedra. His ideas and beliefs for the campaign are subject to ridicule, he is a target for anger and dismissed as an outsider at times. His life hangs in the balance because should the ‘no’ campaign fail, he will be treated as a threat to the Pinochet state and untold horrors await him and the others. He learns of this courtesy of his boss, fellow ad man Lucho Guzman (Alfredo Castro, turning in a wonderful performance as the main antagonist), who tells him that he and the other ‘no’ campaigners will be “effed up” after the campaign, such was the confidence of the Pinochet regime in winning the plebiscite. Happily, this was not the conclusion.

Although the film deals with events that are 24 years old some of its concerns are contemporary: The need and desire for a politics based on optimism and hope for the future without negative campaigning playing on people’s fears and creating hopelessness. I feel the need for such a political dialect and I found the ideas of the ‘no’ campaign inspirational and very moving.

I recommend the film most highly. One, because it is a fresh approach to political history. Two, because it has been made with love and care and has a gentle heart. Three, because it’s so terribly poignant for lots of reasons.
