Ángela is a film student who discovers a real snuff film hidden in the university archives. Alejandro Amenábar, at just twenty-four years old, makes his directorial debut with this psychological thriller that blends a thoughtful examination of media violence with an effective and disturbing suspense story. Ana Torrent and Fele Martínez star in a film that convinced Hollywood of its director's talent before most people in Spain had fully recognized it.
✍️ Our review
8.5/10★★★★☆
Amenábar's debut at age 23 is a marvel of technical precision and storytelling. It raised questions about violence in cinema that remain relevant today.
