2016 ‘Contratiempo’ Directed by Oriol Paulo
"The Invisible Guest” turns on a young businessman who wakes up in a hotel room locked from the inside with the dead body of his lover next to him. He hires a prestigious lawyer, and over one night they work together to clarify what happened in a frenetic race against time.
PLOT TWISTS SO MANY PLOT TWISTS... This was amazing, the actors were excellent and the whole thing was so unpredictable. WOW.
Brillant geschriebener, toll gespielter und twistvoller Psycho-Thriller, der den Zuschauer von der ersten bis zur letzten Sekunde fesselt. Was für ein fantastischer Film. Das spanische Kino zählt zum faszinierendsten, was der europäische Film zu bieten hat.
Supremely goofy, one of those mysteries where everyone makes the worst possible decision at every turn simply to justify endless absurd twists. At least this sort of thing is funny.
Christopher Nolan, under the pressure of backlash from his semi-recent filmé The Dark Knight Rises, has created a Spanish alias in order to trick us into not comparing his filmography or judging his work as too "mainstream." In doing so he has created his pet project, "The Invisible Guest," where, just as in The Prestige, the very essence of WHY the film was made is engraved into the movie's plot. In The Prestige the movie's plot is a stand-in for the creative process that Nolan goes through in making a movie. In his alias filmé, the ploté is a stand in for his alias. The woman that comes to Adrian's defense is the director of this movie...ONLY TO BE REVEALED…
Al bueno de Oriol le chifla el eurothriller casposo del estilo del De Palma de Femme Fatale (pero sin ningún alarde técnico a la hora de mover la cámara), así que los fans de la chorrada aquella de El cuerpo estamos de enhorabuena: Contratiempo es una burrada entretenidísima a la que se le ve venir de lejos pero con su seriedad imbécil nos hace pasar hora y media de lo más divertido. Si te gustó aquella y recuerdas a Coronado haciendo el perrete por teléfono, no te la puedes perder.
Menudo juego sacan a las tres cabinas de teléfono que quedan en España.
Una risa todo.
O espanhol Contratiempo faz o que promete! Um homem bem sucedido acorda num quarto de hotel. Ao seu lado uma amante morta, euros espalhados e tudo trancado por dentro.
A história narra sua saga para tentar provar a inocência. Faz isso com muita competência e com boas interpretações.
You know the twist is coming. You know something's going to happen. Yet you won't know what. TIG is just that kind of movie. You'll enjoy the turn of events as they happen. The storytelling and direction is great.
فيلم يشدك معه من بدايته لنهاية مو لقصته بل لكيف سرد القصة سرد قصة الفيلم من افضل ما رأيت تخليك تنصدم وماتتوقع اي حدث لكن للاسف في امور ماحبيتها بالفيلم حسيت بالغوا فيها لكن فيلم بشكل عام يستحق المشاهدة بالتأكيد
great thriller, full of twists and turns. one of the good ones. must see! great script!
Contratiempo is a stylish, intricate crime thriller with almost more plot twists than your mind can handle. The film reminded me of maestro Akira Kurosawa's Rashomon (1950), where the story is told from different viewpoints.
Near the end, Contratiempo becomes a bit chaotic due to the increasing plot twist frequency, but the greatest plot twist is saved for the very end. I didn't see that one coming.

A man is accused of murdering his mistress. On the night before the trial, in the face of seemingly overwhelming evidence, he and his lawyer try to reconstruct what really happened.
In recent years, Spain has become the source for some very good thrillers and horror flicks, like [REC], Sleep Tight, or Marshland.
Contratiempo can proudly join that fine list. It's a noirish, twistyturny thriller that continuously toys with your expectations and sympathies.
Even if the final reveal could have been set up better, it's a great ride getting there.
