TONY MANERO
(Pablo Larraín, Chile 2008, 98 min., v.o.e.)
Men touch each other with blows. An energetic duo about masculine construction. A deconstruction of the contemporary virile behaviour, acclaimed by some and questioned by many. CLINCH in boxing is the moment in which the two boxers hug and block each other until the referee separates them. This movement is about getting as close as possible to your rival to protect yourself from their attack. CLINCH exposes the most toxic masculinity, established in the competition, the denial and the confrontation to all that is different. Furthermore, the denial of feelings, excluding rage or fury, that must be demonstrated through the exercise of violence.
Santiago de Chile, 1978. En medio de un difícil contexto social, la dictadura de Pinochet, Raúl Peralta, de unos cincuenta años, está obsesionado con la idea de interpretar a Tony Manero, el personaje de John Travolta en «Fiebre del Sábado Noche». Sus ansias de interpretar a su gran ídolo y su anhelo de ser reconocido como una estrella del mundo del espectáculo a nivel nacional le empujan a cometer una serie de crímenes y robos.
