Unconscious

Unconscious is a Spanish film from director Joaquin Oristrell.

This film is an homage to psychoanalytic theory and Freud. It is a pretty crazy film that ends up in places you would never begin to imagine--like a porn studio and a transvestite party.

One would imagine that a film about psychoanalytic theory would be pretty heavy, which it can be. Some of what occurs in this film hearkens back to Greek tragedy. Overall, though, this movie is really a comedy. There are some very funny parts.

While not particularly revolutionary in any way, it is certainly well written and well acted. The dialogue (well, at least the subtitles) was incredibly witty. It was also an intelligent film, not assuming the audience would not get any references to the classics like most of the drivel coming out of Hollywood nowadays (don't get me wrong, I like that too). 

It was well composed in every way imaginable. If you enjoy adult (very adult) humor, his is a great film to watch. If you are uncomfortable with sex, you should stay away from this film (as well as many European films).

You are probably thinking something along the lines of, "Gee thanks, Kim. Now I know what your opinion of this film is, but for God's sake what is it about?"

I'll tell you. This is a film about a woman whose husband, an important psychoanalyst, leaves her and disappears. She enlists her brother-in-law, her husband's best friend, to help her find him. Along the way, they get into some very interesting situations. I would tell you more, but it might ruin the movie for you if you are so inclined to watch it. I have attached the trailer for your viewing pleasure.
