Gentille Alouette is a 1990 French-Chilean film written and directed by Sergio Castillo. Geraldine Chaplin stars as an actress in Paris that is stalked by a Latin American colonel played by Héctor Alterio.[1]

Plot

The Colonel (Alterio) begins to stalk his former lover, Angela (Chaplin), as he suspects her of being involved in an anti-government group. Surrealist elements come into play as the Colonel blends his memories of Angela with his suspicions to create fantastical scenarios of capturing the elusive actress.[1]

Reception

The New York Times described the film as "intriguing", and that Castilla "combines surrealism and high comedy in a visionary style that with its echoes of Gabriel García Márquez and Luis Buñuel seems quintessentially Latin American in spirit."[1]
