    Esta es una fascinante pelicula, no solo porque trata un tema muy polemico (el cine snuff) sino porque nos involucra totalmente en la investigacion de su heroina.
    Tesis, del director Alejandro Amenabar, es tensa, inteligente y original. Es una cinta que te deja al borde de la butaca (gracias a un ritmo implacable) y aparte reflexiona sobre la violencia en los medios de comunicacion. Una joyita de cine español de los noventas y la obra mas completa de Amenabar.

    Amenábar makes his debut writing and directing a very interesting low-budget thriller.
    In a clever and original way, he deals with an extreme subject, such as snuff-movies. Urban legend or reality? In a more general sense, this film is a reflection on the cult of violence in our society. How media celebrate it and why people feel repulsion and, at the same time, are attracted to scenes of violence and death.
    Little Big Film. Simple, realistic, suspenseful, involving.

    AMENABAR, El primer filme de este director chileno; tras su destierro por la junta militar de Pinochet. Y como decimos en mi tierra: "La saco del estadio". Thriller lleno de suspenso que atrapa al espectador

    Oui, à Alejandro Amenábar, à la direction surprenante, à certains plans subjectifs incroyablement surprenants, audacieux et originaux, à Ana Torrent qui me rappelle étrangement Penelope Cruz, à l'excellent Fele Martínez qui me rappelle à son tour étrangement Johnny Depp (va savoir pourquoi), à l'excellence du sujet en la matière, à savoir la thèse d'une étudiante sur la violence individuelle et ses effets sur la société, à l'excellent début de film énigmatique qui nous tient en haleine, aux millions de dollars de box-office que ce film aurait fait aux États-Unis s'il avait été réalisé en anglais.

    Non, au suspense qui se métamorphose lui aussi progressivement en film d'horreur raté, aux innombrables clichés qui nous accablent dans la seconde moitié du film, à la fin pathétique qui était on ne peut trop prévoyable, justement à l'américanisation progressive du scénario qui dérive peu à peu jusqu'à sombrer dans l'archétype du film américain.

    Bref, peut-être.
