In the MARSHLAND a serial killer is on the loose. Two homicide detectives who appear to be poles apart must settle their differences and bring the murderer to justice before more young women lose their lives.
A gripping police procedural thriller from writer-director Alberto Rodríguez with understated character (and political) depth as Spain’s fascist past looms over all the characters.
Terrific, multi award-winning Spanish thriller from Alberto Rodríguez.
It’s surely a coincidence but this Spanish crime drama shares many elements with the HBO drama, including some breathtaking camerawork.
Director Alberto Rodríguez builds up a pleasing air of ambiguity even as his characters are solving the expertly crafted mystery at its core.
If the intrigue doesn’t quite deliver there’s always great landscape, ominous atmosphere and Wallander-style morose cops to enjoy.
With each new discovery, the film becomes more intriguing and doubts are raised about almost everyone, barring the director who has done a first-class job.
