Spain 2007, 92 minutes
Dir. Nacho Vigalondo

Aroview: Intricate, mind-bending Spanish gem following a man who trips back a fraction in time and inadvertently interferes with his past, present and future.

These elements of time are cleverly folded into a convoluted but never confusing caper that is playful, audacious and rough-hewn in the tradition of the best B-movies, but it's also likely to engage a wider audience as a sustained tale with multiple twists and a satisfying pay off. It's also refreshingly free of the smugness and self-conscious sex appeal that is usually customary, embodied by the off-beat casting of lead Karra Elejalde, whose charms are considerable if not physical. Well worth rewinding.
