Review of The Red Squirrel (1993) by Richard C — 13 Apr 2007
This is an impressive film from Julio Medem (Sex and Lucia, Vacas) as he manages to weave symbolism and surrealism into one highly enjoyable film. The plot centres on Emma Suarez's character Lisa who after a motorcycle accident is diagnosed with amnesia. Unfortunately her rescuer, played by Nancho Novo, decides to exploit her condition and tells her that she is his long term girlfriend. However, his web of deceit is not the only one being spun.
With a plot that delicately meanders and strong characters that continually blur their underlying motives, this is a film that will appeal to fans of European cinema.
