La llamada

The title of these strange movie, "La llamada", that means the calling, alludes to the phone calling by Dominique, the French girl who was in love of the Spaniard Pablo. In fact, it´s a calling from the dead´s limbo. Their love was too strong to die: an airplane crash has ended with his life, but she refuses to disappear from live´s world. In a script that would remind to the horror fans to a film shooted some years after, "Neither the sea nor the sand", the action begins with the couple and their naive love (perhaps too naive, too much sugar). Then, the film changes and all is weird, very, very ambiguous. We don´t know, as the main character, the real truth. Some readers would remember the pace of the soft fantasy and horror tales by Julio Cortázar in a hard to see film, even in its original country, that deserves a chance (enjoy the interpretation of Emilio Gutiérrez Caba, a very well known actor in the spanish theater scene). Photographed in glorious black and white, contains a superb climax where Pablo goes to France and meets the Dominique´s haunting house and their ghastly relatives. Beware of the ghosts!
