    Los terrenos en los que se mueve el realizador vasco Julio Medem en La Ardilla Roja (España, 1993), son los que le han servido para cimentar prácticamente toda su filmografía: los sueños, el delirio, el surrealismo y las historias tormentosas de amor. Todo aquello está presente en La Ardilla Roja, ganador en Cannes el premio al Premio de la Juventud, aunque irónicamente fue pobremente reconocido en los Goya (Ganador por Mejor Banda Sonora, dos nominaciones a Mejor Actriz y Mejor Actriz de Reparto). Su influencia en las delirantes historias de suspenso y estilo film-noir de David Lynch (Wild at Heart/1990, por ejemplo), son notorias aquí en Medem, aunque propone un lenguaje visual y narrativo propio.

    La Ardilla Roja es todo un puzzle narrativo, que su puesta en imágenes es para el espectador un verdadero reto. La historia arranca con el encuentro de sus dos misteriosos protagonistas, Jota (Nacho Novo), y una amnésica chica (Emma Suárez), el primero a punto de suicidarse arrojándose de un puente. Sin embargo, ella es la que cae accidentalmente en su motocicleta y, medio inconsciente, es auxiliada por Jota, quien la bautizará como Lisa, título de una de sus canciones favoritas.

    La mezcla de formatos es audaz, aunque la narración jamás pierde su coherencia, a pesar de los saltos entre lo real y lo alucinante, del sueño, de lo onírico. Al ser un filme de Medem, la película estará llena de referencias eróticas, más en sus diálogos que en lo visual, como una forma de conocimiento y descubrimiento entre la pareja protagónica. En ese sentido, La Ardilla Roja es la película más tranquila del realizador, si la comparamos con Lucía y el Sexo (2002) o incluso Caótica Ana (2007), su más reciente película.

    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.
