RBased on the life of famed Nobel Prize-winning Chilean poet Pablo Neruda, Neruda is an in depth look at the life and times of a poet who was entrenched in a battle of wits with a government agent in the 1940s due to his Communist leanings. When he becomes a fugitive to escape persecution for his beliefs, an investigation is launched to find him and bring him back.
"For anyone who believes that poetry and democracy spring from the same source and provoke the same enemies, this movie provides both encouragement and warning." ~ New York TimesTrailer:
