Love in Isla Negra
22 May 2023
A romantic Netflix film based on a book by Antonio Skármeta. It tells the story of Mario, a young postman who delivers mail to the famous local Chilean poet, Pablo Neruda, and falls in love with a waitress named Clarita. They are separated by her mother, who disapproves of their relationship, but they keep writing poems to each other. Mario is surprised to find out that Clarita is also knowledgeable about Neruda and catches him plagiarizing some of his verses. But they eventually make up and get married. The film has nice scenery of the Chilean coast, but it is somewhat simplistic and predictable.
