A trip back in time, from present to crime. Hector and his wife are spending a routine afternoon unpacking furniture at their new house in the Spanish countryside. Strange things start to happen. He receives an odd phone call. Then as he lounges in the backyard with binoculars, he catches a glimpse of a topless woman in the woods. Deciding to explore, hoping for more salacious peeks, everything starts to go wrong. A man with a pink-bandaged face starts attacking him and he escapes to a very strange facility manned by a lone and suspicious scientist. Tightly and intricately precision scripted by writer, director and star Nacho Vigalondo, pay close attention because everything you see is a referential jigsaw image as Hector travels back in time and meets the last person he expected – himself. David Cronenberg is down to direct the American remake so time to take note of Time Crimes.
