Cast and Crew of No

No

"No," directed by Pablo Larraín and released in 2012, debuted to critical acclaim for its fresh approach to political storytelling and innovative use of archival footage combined with dramatized scenes. The film was praised particularly for Gael García Bernal's charismatic performance as René Saavedra and for shedding light on a pivotal historical moment in Chile's struggle against dictatorship. Despite its positive critical reception, "No" initially saw modest box office success, especially outside Chile, due to its specific historical context and political themes. Over time, however, its reputation has grown significantly, with many critics and cinephiles hailing it as an underrated gem that powerfully captures the intersection of politics, media, and advertising. Today, "No" is regarded as an important and insightful film in world cinema, rather than a dated relic, and it continues to be celebrated for its relevance and artistic merit, securing its place as a modern classic in political cinema.
