Ema, the extraordinary young woman at the heart of this film, says at one point that she teaches freedom. Thatâs a good place to start with Pablo Larrainâs kaleidoscopic and mesmerising eighth feature, set in Valparaiso, Chile.
Ema is a dancer, working through her grief at having to give up her adopted son. She tries to lose herself in her body. When sheâs not dancing, she creates mayhem, physical and spiritual, including torching public fixtures such as traffic lights with a flamethrower. With dark eyebrows and a bottle-blonde mane of hair, she is a femme fatale for our times, a vengeful goddess for the #MeToo and #Insta generation.
