Filmmaker Pablo Larrain’s (Jackie, 2016 and Spencer, 2021) upcoming movie El Conde is a dark comedy/horror that imagines a parallel universe inspired by the recent history of Chile.

The film portrays Augusto Pinochet, a symbol of world fascism, as a vampire who lives hidden in a ruined mansion in the cold southern tip of the continent. Feeding his appetite for evil to sustain his existence. After two hundred and fifty years of life, Pinochet has decided to stop drinking blood and abandon the privilege of eternal life. He can no longer bear that the world remembers him as a thief. Despite the disappointing and opportunistic nature of his family, he finds new inspiration to continue living a life of vital and counterrevolutionary passion through an unexpected relationship.

Check out the trailer and watch the film on Netflix September 15.

In 2017, Larraín and his brother Juan de Dios co-produced Sebastián Lelio’s A Fantastic Woman, which was the first Chilean film to win the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film.

El Conde is set to premiere at the 80th Venice International Film Festival.
