Actors :Diego Noguera,Nathalia Galgani,Gabriela Arancibia,Trinidad Gonzalez,Hugo Medina,Andres Waas,Alicia Fehrmann,Alicia Rodriguez,Cristóbal Briceño,Julio Carrasco,Natalia GalganiJulio is a struggling young writer who has hit a wall. Unemployed and involved in a half-hearted relationship with his neighbor, things are finally starting to look up when he gets an interview with a renowned author to transcribe his latest work. Things don't go as planned, however, and Julio doesn't get the job. Instead of admitting the truth to his girlfriend, he pretends to be transcribing the novel when actually writing his own story. Searching for inspiration and a plot, Julio revisits a romance he had eight years ago when studying literature in Valdivia. As Julio's novel progresses, so does his fondness for the past and of the love he let slip away. Based on an internationally acclaimed novella, Bonsái is a subtly affecting examination of the lies we tell ourselves in order to get by. -- (C) Strand

Some New Trailer For Bonsái
New Review For Movie Bonsái
A melancholy story of romance and regret with moments of drollery and sweetness along the way.
Walter V. Addiego-San Francisco Chronicle Scenes of breezy intimacy mix well with deadpan comic moments, and Noguera's face is that rare male visage that seems boyishly opaque but over time suggests deep reserves of melancholy.
Robert Abele-Los Angeles Times Bonsai illustrates the unbearable lightness of loneliness in a quiet, delicate manner.
Rene Rodriguez-Miami Herald This isn't a story of Shakespearean proportions, but it's a sweet peg for this complex, carefully constructed gem.
V.A. Musetto-New York Post In clumsier hands it would be easy to get lost amid the expanding thicket of narrative twists.
Manohla Dargis-New York Times Bonsái seems like a veritable thicket of illuminating references and correspondences. A kind of poetry sprouts up even in some of the inevitable sad-twee flourishes.
Benjamin Mercer-Village Voice A creative film from Chile about love, books and bonsai.
Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat-Spirituality and Practice Cristián Jiménez's film knows how entangled the will to know is with the will to make love.
Diego Costa-Slant Magazine Attractive cinematography shot in warm colours and neat, often comedic, composition.
Gail Tolley-The List Like a bonsai, Julio is a stunted developer, and this film is a bit of a miniature curio but also pleasantly odd, funny and warm.
-Scotsman A rather tiresome film in which headcase collides with bookcase.
Philip French-Observer [UK] A laid back, ludic literary romance (of sorts) that sets past against present and story against story.
Anton Bitel-Film4 Jiménez's drama is crisply imprinted; another fine recent Chilean effort.
Peter Bradshaw-Guardian [UK] The quiet understatement of the work bears endless reflection.
Emma Paterson-Little White Lies intriguing because of its Escheresque style of storytelling, but its intellectual appeal fails to reach the heart
Laura Clifford-Reeling Reviews Cristián Jiménez likes quirkiness and his enthusiasm for it, evidenced in his first film Optical Illusions and again here, goes a good way to convincing you to take the ride.
