In a woozy state following a car accident, a woman grapples with the possibility that she killed someone.
María Onetto (Wild Tales) is at her bleary-eyed best as Verónica, a middle-class woman who is distracted by her phone while driving and accidentally runs over something. Was it a rabbit? A dog? Or worse? She doesn’t stop to find out. The ensuing hours and days are a whirlpool of disorientation and confusion as she recovers from a concussion and tries to deal with the growing guilt from her suspicion that she might have killed someone.
Curator’s Note
Lucrecia Martel’s mysterious third feature is a very different dream to other films. In The Headless Woman, the audience is disorientated and turned around in a waking concussion daze. Co-produced by brothers Agustín and Pedro Almodóvar, long-time admirers of Martel, the film premiered in competition at the 61st Cannes Film Festival.
