“We are very happy as Netflix is a place where directors whom I greatly admire have made really valuable movies,” Larrain stated following the announcement. “Using black comedy, we want to observe, understand and analyze the events that have occurred in Chile and the world in the last 50 years. We have total confidence that we’ll do a good job and it will undoubtedly be an adventure: a demanding shoot, but very inspiring and meaningful.”
