El bosque

Dannenberg lives alone in a house lost in the middle of the countryside, hunting for food, and living immersed in monotony. Every day he stands in front of two graves, crowned by a wooden circle. One afternoon, he sees, in the distance, the silhouettes of two people approaching. Finally, the house's grandfather clock begins to tick on its own. What he had been waiting for has arrived, and from now on, things become unpredictable.

Directed by Pablo Siciliano, Eugenio Lasserre, El bosque leans on a strong ensemble — Oscar Pérez, Paula Brasca, Martín Markotic — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about mystery titles of 2008.
