La cara oculta ... - The Hidden Face review by NP
One of the best things about going into a film 'blind' - that is, without any previous knowledge of plot details - is that undiscovered delights like this can be enjoyed exactly as the creative team intended. So don't even watch the trailer!
Andrés Baiz's erotic Spanish film allows us to gradually get to know the characters, to get to know their individual predicaments at a leisurely pace. This slow-burning beginning may be a trial for some - but stick with it, because once we think we know what's going on, then the story begins to twist and weave in all kinds of dark and chilling directions.
Quim Gutierrez plays Adrián, a flirty conductor who becomes attracted to attractive waitress Fabiana (Martina Garcia). She helps him cope with a particularly traumatic situation involving Belén (Clara Lago). That's all I'm saying. The cast is excellent, even though I was relying on the subtitles throughout. The plot keeps us on our toes, and goes into some very dark areas, as we ricochet from thriller to chiller, guided by Baiz's very capable direction. My score is 8 out of 10.
