The Intruder (El Prófugo)
This Argentine film is about Inés, a voice actress & singer, who seems to be struggling with her dreams/nightmares & possibly from taking too many unprescribed pills. Leopoldo, her mother Marta, & Alberto play key roles in her life. It’s a confusing story as audiences start to question her sanity. Is she delusional? Is she schizophrenic? What is real & what is not? This film is spoken in Spanish with English subtitles but I’m questioning whether something may be lost in translation and/or in cultural design. Have I️ misinterpreted the genre? Is it not a horror/psychological thriller? Or is it an unrecognizably ultra dark comedy? I️ simply don’t get it so I️ wasn't entertained.
Alien gives it 1 “concert hall organ tuning” star out of 4.
