This is a top-notch thriller about a young businessman called Adrián Doria (Mario Casas) contracts an advocate at law (Ana Wagener) who attempts to prove his innocence for a strange crime of his lover (Barbara Lennie) happened at a luxury hotel, but events are about to get even worse. I hope films like this never stop being made because they are an absolute delight to watch.
#Invisible guest movie
That should indicate just how good this movie is. In fact I've just spent 5 minutes trying to come up with some and failed. It's very hard to find any negatives with this film. In fact it's almost a must to watch it again, knowing what you now know. The story is crafted exquisitely and has a lot of rewatchability factor. The entire cast found a perfect balance of charisma and mysteriousness to surround their character. It's always a little hard to judge acting in a subtitled film, but I'm pretty confident in saying the acting in this film was superb. The intricate webs they weave never cease to astound me. The Europeans seem to understand that the true brilliance in cinema comes from the writing side of things. They always seem to think that a movie needs endless car chases and shoot-outs and that the story should just be there to facilitate those. It's also a type of movie that Americans don't do overly well. A mystery thriller that is guaranteed to have a twist. It was the type of film that I like more than any other type. I'm glad to confirm that it will not be my last, because this movie was incredible. I'm widely known for enjoying French cinema, however I believe this is the first Spanish film I have ever seen. Contratiempo is, in my opinion, a must watch for thriller/mystery enthusiasts and legal movie fans.
#Invisible guest full
1 hour and 46 minutes are surprisingly enough for this film, even if it may seem too little for a 9-rated movie, for the entire time I didn't get bored or badly surprised, it was just very thrilling and full of action and mystery. Those 'little problems' made me to decide this movie is a 9, not a 10, a 10 would be a perfect masterpiece, however, this one approaches perfection somehow. I am not familiarized with the actors from the cast, but I can say that their acting is a very good performance and all the filming crew made a good job with this one ! Filming angles, soundtrack, story line, cast, plot, etc, all of them are a lot above the average thriller/mystery clichés that Hollywood got us used to, but still it has some minor issues that, in my opinion, of course, I would have changed.
#Invisible guest series
From 2016 onwards, Oriol Paulo works as the writer and director of the television series Night and Day.I haven't seen many Spanish movies so far, but I can honestly say that Contratiempo/Invisible Guest is about to be brilliant. In 2017 Paulo wrote and directed The Invisible Guest with Mario Casas, Barbara Lennie and José Coronado as protagonists. In 2016 he wrote the script of Boy Missing, directed by Mar Tarragona. Paulo nominated for Best New Director at the Goya Awards and won the Best Film Award at the Fantastic Film Festival in Paris for The Body. In 2012 he wrote and directed his first feature, The Body.
But he had already made some short films such as McGuffin (1998, scriptwriter and director), Tapes (2002, scriptwriter and director) and Eve (2002, scriptwriter and director). In cinema, he made himself known as a co-screenwriter alongside Guillem Morales with the thriller Julia's Eyes (2010), produced by Guillermo del Toro.
As a scriptwriter, he wrote screenplays for small screen films such as Ecos (2006) and Codi 60 (2011), but is best known for his work in series such as Absolute majority (2004) and The color of the cuitat (2004-09). Oriol Paulo studied audiovisual communication at Pompeu Fabra University and film at the Los Angeles Film School.
