Sony Pictures Home Entertainment has revealed that it plans to release on Blu-ray Pablo Larraín's (Post Mortem, Tony Manero) No (2012), starring Gael García Bernal (The Motorcycle Diaries), Alfredo Castro (Post Mortem), and Luis Gnecco (Young and Wild). The release will be available for purchase online and in stores across the nation on June 25th.
No was selected to represent Chile in the Foreign Language Category of the 85th Academy Awards (2013).
Based on a true story. When Chilean military dictator Augusto Pinochet, facing international pressure, calls for a referendum on his presidency in 1988, opposition leaders persuade a brash young advertising executive, Rene Saavedra (Bernal), to spearhead their campaign. With scant resources and constant scrutiny by the despot's watchmen, Saavedra and his team devise an audacious plan to win the election and free their country from oppression.
From a screenplay by Pedro Peirano (The Maid), No is produced by Juan de Diós Larraín and Daniel Dreifuss and executive produced by Participant Media's Jeff Skoll and Jonathan King.
