A Disappointing Continuation

One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.

This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama

If you like to be scared, if you like to laugh, and if you like to learn a thing or two at the movies, this absolutely cannot be missed.

While the thriller quotient , acting is of high quality suspense was not that master class. Once in the middle of movie when it was shown the detective was heart broken for the death of his wife in accident I guessed as I have already seen the Blue Oranges way back. Presentation is different but basic premise of the movie is similar.

Whilst talking to a friend about what TV shows they are watching, I got told about the (extended) Noir-Noir Spanish Mini-Series I Know Who You Are. Catching up on the series, I got recommended a Spanish flick that was about to be removed from the site,which led to me uncovering the body. The plot:Feeling sick at seeing how his millionaire wife Mayka Villaverde has lost all her good looks, Alejandro "Álex" Ulloa makes a deal with secret lover Carla to kill Mayka,and then run off together. Getting a slow-acting chemical from his workplace,Alex waits for Mayka to die,then phones up the cops to get the body. Expecting to wait for his winnings, Alex gets a call to go to the morgue. At the morgue, Alex is told by cop Jaime Peña that Mayka's body has disappeared. As Peña searches for the body,Alex gets signs that Mayka has not passed on.View on the film:Picking up the black leather gloves of the Giallo with Neo-Noir hands,co-writer/(with Lara Sendim) director Oriol Paulo & cinematographer Oscar Faura undress the body with an icy supernatural (bloodless) Horror/Giallo atmosphere,as ultra-stylised whip-pans across the morgue suggest a hidden figure hiding in the shadows, whilst reflections in wine glasses and circling camera moves subtly change what is being reflected at Alex. Largely taking place in one location, (with extended flashbacks) opens up the tomb of the morgue with a pristine Neo-Noir metallic shine lining the walls,which close Alex and Peña on a tightly coiled interrogations.Offering up to Alex various rational reasons to Mayka's disappearance, the screenplay by Paulo and Sendim brilliantly keep the possible supernatural Horror ambiguous, which give the writers a chance to dig into the major Giallo theme of the ruthless upper class, via Alex having an arrogance over even looking at Peña and seeing murder as a quick path to a sack of cash.Thumping the table at Alex's refusal to answer, the writers cut prime Neo-Noir dialogue for Peña,whose initial worn-down appearance is revealed to hide a burning Noir anger.Deconstructing the entire day from Mayka death to Alex's arrival at the mood, the writers unveil a magnificent, macabre twist, which hits thanks to the writers cleverly placing scenes where the viewer can see things from a different perspective on a second viewing. Sweating with fear over Peña unlocking the truth, Hugo Silva gives a superb performance as Alex,whose abrasive attitude Silva holds onto as a mask to hide Alex's fear. Determined to smoke out the whereabouts of Mayka (played by a glamorous Belén Rueda) Jose Coronado gives Peña an excellent hard-nosed aggression smashing Alex's arrogance, as the worn-down Noir loner look of Peña is peeled away by Coronado to reveal a sharp-calculating grip,as the body hits the floor.

A really really good movie, full of suspense.At the beginning I thought of, how easy, I understand what this movie is about but as the minutes passed I was trying to put everything together, to understand who is the one behind all these, is it the husband, is it she, the wife? I admit I suspected her all the time, after all she is one smart, beautiful and powerful woman, isn't she?:)) It s just one of those movies who leaves you at the end with your mouth open saying ''I wasn't expecting that'' because you simply have no clue...I simply give it a 10, I think that the story is great, the characters play their roles very good, the atmosphere is full of suspense and the screen play is very well thought.Hope to see more movies like this! Enjoy!

When the body of Mayka a powerful and rich woman disappear from the morgue, the police starts to investigate and call the husband that soon get's on the police radar as suspect not only from the missing body but also with her dead . Love, money, betrayal , everything Is there.
