Review :
The observation game, the Nazis, Barcelona
MINOR SPOILERS This is an unique, highly interesting movie which reminds you of more famous titles like Antonioni's "Blow Up", Coppola's "The Conversation" or Polanski's "Death and the Maiden". And, believe me, it stands its ground among them. It is about a group of hired killers or foreign agents (it is never exactly explained who they are) who observe a former SS man. Their boss (or employer) is a Holocaust survivor who wants the man to be killed. But he insists he has to gain absolute certainty that the observed person really is the man who decades earlier was responsible for his suffering and the murder of members of his family. The search for this certainty, or rather his uncertainty, becomes an obsession with him, and the narrative gradually shifts from the classic action plot to an increasingly absurd and surrealistic tone. The ending is a sad, anticlimactic showdown in an alienating setting. It suits the movie very well.
Worth watching also for good location shots of Barcelona, where all the action takes place. The town was not the hip place it is known to be nowadays when the movie was made. Barcelona also has is dark past and can generate depressing moods one probably would not expect at first sight. This movie shows it plainly.
