Los crímenes

About This Movie

So, 'Los crímenes' has this intriguing narrative style; it’s almost like peeling back layers of a mystery. The policeman recounts a case that feels both personal and distant, with its characters—like the young widow and that insomniac businessman—adding a certain disquiet to the atmosphere. The pacing is deliberately slow, which really allows the tension to build, and the city itself plays a crucial role, almost like a character in its own right. What stands out for me is how they use practical effects to create this gritty realism that makes the viewer feel the weight of each scene. Not to mention, the performances have this understated quality that adds depth to the unfolding drama. It’s an interesting watch, to say the least.

This film has a bit of a cult following among collectors, particularly those who appreciate its unique approach to storytelling. Its distribution was somewhat limited, which adds to its allure and scarcity in the market. You might find few editions out there, but if you do, they can spark interesting discussions about its themes and style. The lack of a known director also raises questions that many collectors are eager to explore.
