Director: Esteban LarraΓn
Overview
In early 1980s Chile, a 14-year-old boy becomes a media sensation after claiming to have witnessed visions of the Virgin Mary. Acclaimed Chilean director Esteban LarraΓnβs complex film serves as both a critique of the hypocrisy of the Pinochet regime and an intriguing study of the power of desire, as Miguel Angel trades on his adolescent sexuality to accentuate his charismatic allure.
