(aka "Oculto" )
directed by Antonio Hernández
Spain 2005
At a
conference on the interpretation of dreams, fashion
editor Natalia (Angela Cepida) relates a series of
dreams (featuring the monolith from 2001: A SPACE
ODYSSEY) that seem to contain premonitions of the
directions her life is taking. Upon overhearing this,
the conference's organizer Beatriz (Laia Marull) passes
out (it is revealed that she has a tattoo which combines
elements from Natalia's latest dream - the outcome of
which she is still awaiting - and Beatriz starts to
think Natalia may somehow hold an answer to her own
inner demons). Also at the conference is magazine editor
Alex (Leonardo Sbraglia) who pursues a sexual
relationship with Natalia but he has also caught the eye
of Beatriz. Beatriz confides in the dreams that she has
been having "as Natalia" which seem to suggest that the
soul of Natalia's spurned lover (William Miller,
ROTTWEILER) is not at rest; but is there a
not-so-supernatural yet equally sinister explanation? |

Comments |
The Region 2 Spanish disc from Warner Home Video also has English subtitles so Venevision's (a label specializing in Spanish language releases) release is likely a PAL-NTSC port from that edition minus the making of featurette and interviews (probably not English friendly).
The back cover specifies a 1.85:1 aspect ratio but the film is in its OAR of 2.35:1. The Spanish disc reportedly has Dolby Digital 5.1 audio. |
