Storyline

Joana Prats suffers from agnosia, a strange neuropsychological illness that affects her perception. Although her eyes and ears are in perfect condition, her brain cannot interpret the stimuli she receives through them.

As the only one who knows the industrial secret left behind by her father the enigmatic young girl will become the victim of a sinister plan to get the information out of her by taking advantage of her sensory confusion. As the plot unfolds, the two men closest to her will become crucial to its outcome: Charles, Joana's fiance and her father's right hand man, and Vincent, a young, impulsive servant working at the Prats' mansion.

User Reviews

Disappointing...

This movie was not all that I had expected from it, not by a long shot. And while the movie really had every opportunity to dish out something truly unique it just managed to muster a mediocre result.

The story is a strange combination of a love story and a woman's tragic story of suffering from a rare affliction that leaves her overly sensible to stimuli through all senses.

I will say that it was the storyline that killed the movie for me, as the acting in the movie was quite good.

"Agnosia" wasn't a particularly entertaining movie, although visually it was stunning. Lots of really nice details in costumes, sets, props and the like.

I found "Agnosia" to be too long and not particularly satisfying for my interest in movies. As such, it scores a mere four out of ten stars rating from me.
