The acclaimed Chilean director discusses the creation of his innovative Netflix film, taking inspiration from Stanley Kubrick’s 'Dr. Strangelove' and whether Donald Trump might be America's own orange blood-sucker.

Chilean dictator Augusto Pinochet has been a looming offscreen presence in the Pablo Larraín filmography for years. But with the acclaimed director’s latest feature,, a scathing Gothic satire shot in luminous black and white, the figure who haunted so much of recent Chilean history is finally front and center.

Legendary Chilean actor Jaime Vadell stars as Pinochet, who is reimagined here as a 250-year-old vampire who faked his own death and absconded to a dilapidated estate in the Patagonian countryside. Suspecting that he may finally be dying, the fascist icon’s children gather around him in hopes of learning where he has stashed the many millions he pilfered during his long, brutal reign.
