TIMECRIMES (LOS CRONOCRIMENES)
SPAIN, 2007, 88 MIN
DIRECTED BY NACHO VIGALONDO
In Spanish with English subtitles
East Coast Premiere
If Hector travels back in time, is Hector 1 really the same person as Hector 2? Or is Hector 2 so unavoidably altered by the experience that he becomes truly a different person? Lounging in the backyard of his new, isolated country home, mild-mannered schlub Hector spies a beautiful girl disrobing in the forest beyond. Moments later, he sees the girl lying nude and unconscious--or worse. While investigating, he is attacked by a sinister figure with a face swathed in a bloody pink bandage. Fleeing for his life, Hector takes refuge in a seemingly empty laboratory and begs help from a nervous stranger. Events escalate, leaving Hector to piece together a veritable jigsaw puzzle of time fraught with multiple perils--including himself! The feature debut by acclaimed short film director Nacho Vigalondo resembles Primer as made by Roman Polanski on an amphetamine binge--a dizzying, delirious hell-ride of science and natural law gone awry. Terrifying, funny, and exhilarating, Timecrimes ranks among the greatest time-travel thrillers of all time, an unrelenting labyrinth of suspense as unpredictable as it is unforgettable.
