Saw this movie recently online. The movie is an excellent suspense thriller. It was full of twists and surprises. The movie has unexpected turns and hidden clues. It is masterfully directed and exquisitely written by Oriol Paulo. Superbly acted by everyone that appears in it . It also contains beautiful cinematography, great pacing and skilled editing. The plot- a powerful businessman stands accused of murdering his lover. He was found with her dead body in a locked hotel room. The twist ending will leave you with your hand on your head. The director's debut film, The Body has been on my radar for a long time. Fans of Jagged edge, Primal fear, Usual suspects will definitely enjoy this.

    It’s not hard to guess that the lawyer is pretending to be a lawyer. But this is not the point. The focus is on the relationship between "narrative" and "truth". In the absence of a chain of physical evidence, every narrative made by the male protagonist is actually self-consistent and valid, but perhaps none of it is true. This is really thought-provoking. How much of the truth we have identified and grasped is controlled by narratives?

    While leading the audience astray and trapped in the "secret room" with the male protagonist, @balmes emphasized again and again through the lawyer's mouth: focus, don't let details go, and think from a different angle. These words are both a challenge and a persuasion, and those who guess the reversal complacent may not forget the film's smug end. The vertical and horizontal ravines of the human heart are deep and unfathomable. No one is really smarter than others. Only by walking less at night can you avoid running into ghosts.
