The Hidden Face (2011)

I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

Powerful

Excellent but underrated film

This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

First of all, if you've already watched the trailer then this movie will hardly be interesting to you.One of the things I really hate is when I see a good idea ruined by a below-average realization. And this is one such case.The idea is very original, which is very hard to achieve nowadays. The acting is decent, even though the main actor is not the right guy for this role. The plot is mysterious and well designed, if we ignore certain cliché and predictable moments.There are two stories here. The second one begins in the middle of the film and fills the holes of the first story. The mystery unfolds and you wonder what will happen next. And then the movie is over. Just like that. This story has no ending! No point!Given that, this is an average movie at best. Considering that this is something unfinished, I recommend that you skip this one and save yourself some time.

"The Hidden Face" or "La cara oculta" is a South American film directed by Andres Baz. He is a former television director who has done some short films and two other features, Roa and Santanas. He co-wrote this script. I think he's a major talent.The film concerns a Spanish conductor, Adrian (Quim Gutiérrez), who, with his girlfriend Belen (Clara Lago) has rented a home from a German woman who is out of the country for a time.One day, Belen disappears. Her clothes are gone as well as other things. The police can't find her. They suspect Adrian may have had a hand in her disappearance, but they have no proof.Adrian is somewhat of a womanizer, so in short order he meets a waitress, Fabiana (Martina Garcia) and brings her to the house, where she eventually moves in. She isn't entirely comfortable there, though.That's all I'll say. This is one hell of a great movie; the second half will keep you on the edge of your seat. I almost couldn't watch it, it made me so nervous. You're not sure if it's a horror film, a ghost story, a straightforward drama, a murder mystery, and when you find out, it's even more mesmerizing. Baz does a beautiful job building the tension.The acting, particularly from Clara Lago, is superb. Gutiérrez will keep you guessing as to Adrian's involvement in Belen's disappearance. Martina Garcia as the vain, sexy, manipulative Fabiana is wonderful. She and Lago are stunningly beautiful women.I can't recommend this highly enough. Fresh, entertaining, and compelling. I hope to see lots more from this director.

I started to watch this film by chance, as I had nothing better to do and I was really surprised how good it was!The beginning of the movie may be a bit slow and at one point I asked myself if this would be good or not, but then the shift of the stories and the beginning of 'the missing girl story' really starts to make this movie interesting. As the story of the girl develops, you begin to wonder what happened to her and then the twist with the German woman and her secret immediately make you realize what has happened and then the movie gets really interesting.I must say it was really good, from the beginning to the last second! I was hesitant between nine and ten, but will go with nine!All the actors, especially the leading male were really good! And the story too! Great thriller!

Something like this could rarely be made in Hollywood. The plot is actually original and brilliantly executed, unlike modern American movies. It works as a psychological thriller, mystery and horror. Spanish cinematography is one of the best in the entire world. Sure, they tend to make strange and weird movies, but it happens that I enjoy watching such films. One thinks while watching, nothing is served on a plate like in American movies, so one feels engaged while watching, not disconnected and one cares what will happen to the characters. Everything is top notch in this film. The best part is the ambiguous ending, one is left wondering how it will all resolve and how would one behave in similar situation. The movie questions one's actions and a moral compass, whether anybody in the story has one or not. This will probably be remade in Hollywood, but it won't outdo this Spanish masterpiece.
