Extraterrestrial


IMDB
First time viewed: Yes
Current Release: Yes

Huge fan if Nacho Vigalondo's feature debut Timecrimes. Once again he's taken a high concept sci-fi trope and made a grounded smaller scale personal story.

Here we have a couple after a one night stand, neither remembers much of what transpired. Then the jealous next door neighbour complicates things. Then the girls boyfriend returns and further complicates things. Not to mention the giant saucers hovering over cities all over the world leaving our characters all but abandoned after the evacuations.

I really like this one as well, it's a wonderful little drama with some unique complications. There's no intention to explain or investigate the presence of the spacecraft, but the way the relationship plays out because of it is fascinating and inventive. Look out for this one!
