This one scarred me for life.
So why did I watch this? I was curious and in a really bad mood.
"Tras el Cristal" doesn't glorify evil but it doesn't condemn it either. Morally ambiguous, it's a bold move on the director's part, And I believe it is art, albeit nightmarish and haunting. The acting is superb; the cast give intense, realistic performances. The cinematography is mesmerizing, shot in a light of pale, blue drabness. The music is amazing, grim in the desperate realization that evil will always persist in man.
My caveat: This is NOT a "feel a good movie," to say the least. It shocked me, and I am pretty open-minded. But in the end I do think it's edifying.
