From acclaimed Spanish director Joaquín Oristrell, Unconscious
is a delightful period comedy that questions sexual taboos in Barcelona
in the early 20th century, yet resonates with a modern sensibility.
With the beginnings of psychoanalysis and a visit from Freud as a
leitmotiv and background, brother and sister-in-law Salvador and Alma
become involved in a search for her missing husband. Hypnosis,
love, danger, and every imaginable taboo are intertwined.
Leonor Watling (Bad Education) is simply outstanding as nine-months
pregnant Alma, a neurotic yet lovable character. As the
love-struck Salvador, Luis Tosar (Miami Vice) confirms himself as one
of Spain's
greatest actors. The couple's chemistry helps make this film a rare and
special treasure.
