    10/10
    A great combination of suspense, psychology and politics.
    Death and the Maiden is a thriller. A woman who had been tortured in a repressive government meets a man who has been her torturer, or has he?

    It is also a psychological film. A married couple deals with uncovering the whole truth about their past.

    And it is political. Although it is supposed to be a fictional story, it has more than a strong resemblance with the brutal tortures during Pinochet's dictatorship in Chile. It is not filmed in that country, but they use Chilean money, they eat Chilean bread and they mention Tavelli, a popular café in Santiago.

    Beautiful music. Schubert's Death and the Maiden, is played throughout the movie.

    A great film to view with people who enjoy having discussions after.

    Enjoy!
