Crimes of the North Sea is an intriguing study of tension set against the backdrop of 1942 in Mexico City. Goyo Cárdenas, played with a subtle intensity, balances his academic pursuits in biology with an undercurrent of violent impulses, which creates a fascinating psychological portrait. The film doesn’t rush; it allows the atmosphere to build slowly, reflecting the brewing chaos of the impending war. The practical effects, while minimal, add a layer of realism that complements the raw performances. There’s a stark contrast between Goyo's everyday life and the darkness lurking beneath, making the film a distinctive exploration of human nature caught in tumultuous times. It’s not your typical crime flick, that’s for sure.
