Contratiempo

As a suspect is prepped for court testimony, the story of the crime, a murder in a hotel room where only two people - the accused and the victim - were present, deepens as new details emerge with each retelling. Director Oriol Paulo's (The Body) film is Rashomonic in structure, but keeping the action centered entirely on one person's shifting account of the abominable act. An exquisitely intelligent and tense thriller crafted for adult audiences. (Portland International Film Festival)
