'The Headless Woman' never fulfils potential

Director: Lucrecia Martel

Cast: Maria Onetto, Cesar Bordon, Claudia Caqntero

Cert: 12

From Argentina a film that somehow lacks being fully worked out or underlined, even if the basic idea is one full of promise.

Dentist Vero (Onetto) might or might not have driven over someone while on her way home … but she suffers the consequences and a disturbing journey into a jumbled and troubled world, with the central question – did she or didn’t she? – at the heart of a film that manages to be curiously complex and unresolved.

Star Rating: 2/5
