CINEGEEK.DE (our webpage from our video store) - Filmlist MINDGAME MOVIES III. https://www.cinegeek.de/mindgame-movies-iii Is Angel (Carmelo Gómez) really an angel? Or has he been accompanied by an angel for quite some time? Is he good and bad at the same time? Anyway, Angel has just come out of the mental hospital to work. He works for a pest control company and ends up in a small village. Where the earth is red. Angel falls in love with two women: Mari (Silke Hornillos Klein), rebellious and red-haired and into the ethereal Ángela (Emma Suárez), domestic, good and blond. Is Angela also an angel? I'm sure a psychoanalyst could write a lot about it. But director Julio Medem stages fairy tales for adults. Complex, psychological dream games. He loves Spanish baroque literature just as much as the surrealists. His fishing rod is divided in two and perhaps not of this world. That's why he falls in love twice: with the sexual desire and worship of a woman. It's kitschy and romantic and intellectual. Because notice: it's best to watch a Julio Medem film twice in a row to penetrate it.
