I’m glad Kate Upton finally got her act together on the red carpet b/c as of late she’s been a constant disappointment. Aside for those Terry Richardson outtakes from yesterday, Kate Upton dressed the parts beautifully at the “No” film premiere held last night at the 50th Annual New York Film Festival. The Chilean film by director & producer Pablo Larraín already screened at the Cannes Film Festival earlier this year where it won the Art Cinema Award. We should also mention the film has also been selected as the Chilean entry for the Best Foreign Language Oscar at the 85th Academy Awards, so it might be worth checking out. Keep in mind that it’s in Spanish w/ English subtitles.

Here’s some plot juice from the NY Film Festival:

In 1988, in an effort to extend and legitimize its rule, the Chilean military junta announced it would hold a plebiscite to get the people’s permission to stay in power. Despite being given 15 minutes a day to plead its case on television, the anti-Pinochet opposition was divided and without a clear message. Enter Rene Saavedra (an excellent Gael García Bernal), an ad man who, after a career pushing soft drinks and soap, sets out to sell Chileans on democracy and freedom. Winner of the top prize in this year’s Directors’ Fortnight in Cannes, No is little short of a miracle: shooting on U-matic video tape to give the film the look of the Eighties, Pablo Larraín (Tony Manero, Post Mortem) has created a smart, funny and totally engrossing political thriller with a powerful resonance for our times. A Sony Pictures Classics release.
