NOBODY KNOWS ANYBODY
[Nadie Conoce a Nadie]
(Spain/France - 1999)
Aspect ratio: 2.39:1 (Panavision)
Theatrical soundtrack: Dolby Digital
During Holy Week in Seville, a frustrated crossword designer (Eduardo Noriega) is contacted by a sinister 'organization' which plunges him into a nightmare of serial murder and terrorism, culminating in a tense stand-off during the height of the city's religious festivities.
Unusual thriller from Mateo Gill, which pitches Noriega (the Spanish equivalent of Brad Pitt, and star of recent Spanish classics like BURNT MONEY and THE DEVIL'S BACKBONE) into a world of paranoia and murder, ultimately forcing him to make the most catastrophic decision of his life. Gill and cinematographer Javier Salmones frame their widescreen images in a manner which suggests nothing less than cosmic forces at work, rendering the population of an entire city culpable in the moral destruction of an unwitting hero (illustrated by an extraordinary sequence in which Noriega is pursued by hooded figures through narrow back-streets lined with tourists who simply stand back and gape as hunters and quarry engage in a battle with toy ray guns!). The reason for all this mayhem stretches credibility, but the film - based on a novel by Juan Bonilla - is crafted with technical precision, and distinguished by an extravagant music score (by Gill's longtime associate and fellow filmmaker Alejandro Almenabar [OPEN YOUR EYES, THE OTHERS]) designed to convey the central character's growing isolation as he falls ever deeper into a city-wide conspiracy. A fine example of European commercial cinema, with scenes that rival Hitchcock or Argento at their most creative.
Readers are warned that the DVD originally released in the US from Venevision International looks and sounds like a DVD-R, lifted from a videotape recording of the region 2 version released in Spain by Sogepaq. The US disc features poor image quality and a wildly fluctuating soundtrack, and is markedly inferior to the original Spanish DVD. Furthermore, the scope frame is slightly cropped to around 2.10:1 (from the original 2.35:1). A 'Making of' documentary is included (in Spanish only, without English subtitles), along with trailers for other movies handled in the US by Venevision. On this evidence, however, viewers are urged to stick with the original region 2 discs.
NB. Though featured on the packaging, the English title NOBODY KNOWS ANYBODY doesn't actually appear on the print itself.
