YMMV / Distant Star

• Complete Monster: Lieutenant Carlos Wieder is a depraved poet who views death as the best form of art in the new age of Chile, embracing Augusto Pinochet's military dictatorship for allowing him to express himself with impunity. A famous Air Force pilot and fascist propagandist by day, Wieder moonlights as a murderer of left-wing sympathizers on behalf of the Secret Police—with a certain preference for female students—all while taking inspiration from the murders to write his own poems. In one of his most sickening acts, Wieder organizes an exhibition with hundreds of grotesque pictures of his victims, a move that costs him his promising career in the armed forces. After being exiled to Europe, Wieder is hired by Neo-Nazi circles and associates of the Snuff Film underworld.
• Genius Bonus: A recurrent feature of Bolaño.
