Anton Bitel

Projected Figures

a breathless drama that interrogates the paradoxes of Spain's genetic and circumstantial heritage, and teases out the eternal struggle between freedom and repression, memory and oblivion.

What Culture

What begins as compelling and enigmatic eventually loses its way to a more familiar horror film scenario.

It loses its way by the third act but there's no denying that the build up with the child actors is really great; unfortunately the ludicrous ending almost undoes all that went before.

Rated 3 out of 5 stars

Situado na Catalunha, Insensibles mescla duas histórias: em uma, que se passa durante a Guerra Civil Espanhola e segue até os anos 1960, mostra um asilo que tenta reabilitar crianças que não sentem dor, ensinando-lhes sofrimento físico. Na segunda, que ocorre no tempo presente, um brilhante neurocirurgião precisa de um transplante de medula óssea e acaba descobrindo esse passado sombrio quando inicia uma procura por seus pais biológicos.
