Under the direction of Pablo Larrain, "Neruda" is not a biopic in the strict sense, but more of a "new invention" based on real events.
Neruda is a juicy blend of biography and film noir, where the director and writer honor Pablo Neru in an unconventional, indirect way. There are many characters in the film that are real, but the character of Peluccianu is completely fictional. Through the perspective of the policeman Peluccianu, the film makes us have a further understanding of the frame of the film's theme.
