[PUNTOS SUSPENSIVOS]
Elena Ferrante meets Alfred Hitchcock in this Spanish thriller by the Goya-nominated director David Marqués that's full of nail-biting twists and turns. Leo (Diego Peretti), a successful writer of mystery novels under the pseudonym Cameron Graves, is deep at work on his next book in his remote chalet when he is paid a visit by a mysterious man named Jota (José Coronado). The only person who knows Leo's whereabouts and true identity is his agent (Cecilia Suárez) — so just who is knocking at his door? To say more would spoil a delightful exploration of jealousy, deceit and betrayal whose narrative unspools in a PULP FICTION-like manner. DIR/SCR David Marqués; SCR Rafael Calatayud Cano; PROD Álvaro Longoria. Spain, 2023, color, 89 min. In Spanish with English subtitles. NOT RATED
