HAUNTING TRUE STORY OF OBSESSION
Yes, ignore the Middle Eastern comment below. Different Film... This film is excellent. I enjoy watching Spanish films, particularly subtitled ones so that my husband can watch along with me and understand what's going on. When the film was over, I wasn't too sure what my reaction was, (perhaps it just really hit me in a lot of ways) but my husband declared, "I LIKE that film!" and he explained why. This reaction is unusual for him. I just sat and thought about it. Well, excellent acting, excellent story, excellent direction, but it was just a bit unsettling... After the "hmmmmmmmmmm" it was like, "Excellent film, highly recommended!" Definitely thought-provoking. Even "nice" people can be obsessive (Trini). For a long while afterward, we were joking or talking with each other about things that happened in the movie. It definitely had an impact. I would recommend this movie even to people who are not particularly fond of the reading that goes with subtitled movies. Watch it!
