“A magnificently deranged study of overboard pop-culture fandom.” - Slant Magazine

Set during Chile's darkest days under the Pinochet regime, Tony Manero follows a Saturday Night Fever-crazed loner, whose life ambition is to emulate John Travolta's disco character. His pathological quest to imitate his fictional hero leads him to commit increasingly brutal acts, eliminating anything and anyone that gets in his way.

A captivatingly grotesque profile of obsession set against the backdrop of life under Pinochet's totalitarian rule, Tony Manero premiered at the Directors' Fortnight at Cannes in 2008.
