More than grand dramatic outbursts, restrained gestures and suffocating atmospheres predominate, allowing the viewer to experience the invisible weight of control. [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review Carlos Esquives Cinencuentro 4d
The most interesting thing about [Narciso] is that it presents a crime drama without evidence, but with an obvious culprit. Now, this curious paradox is what could also define the great "invisible" enemy of this story. [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review Read all reviews
