Cannes Film Festival: From Chile, Pablo Larraín's 'No' - NYTimes.com:
"CANNES, France — When the young Chilean writer Alejandro Zambra (born 1975) was asked if he ever became frustrated with how his country remains associated with the long, brutal years of the Pinochet era (1973-1990), during which thousands were either executed or disappeared, he answered, “I grew up in a dictatorship, I said my first words in a dictatorship, I read my first books in a dictatorship.” A few days after the Chilean filmmaker Pablo Larraín (born 1976) stood in a large theater here, basking in the thunderous applause that greeted “No,” his latest movie, I asked if he related to Mr. Zambra’s remarks. It wasn’t a surprise when he shrugged and said, “of course.”"
