1996 · Directed by Alejandro Amenábar · 125 min
Ángela, a film student in Madrid, is writing her thesis on violence in audiovisual media. When her research leads her into the university's archive of videotapes, curiosity about screen violence begins to turn into something far more dangerous. A slow-burning thriller about watching, and about who is watching you.
Why it matters in cinema history
A defining film of the 1990s revival of Spanish genre cinema, and an early, influential thriller about video, voyeurism and the ethics of looking in the age of the VHS tape.
Watch with intention
Watch it as a film about looking: who watches, what they want from the screen, and what the camera asks of you.
