Though I admired the curiously thought-out premise and unique reflection on how memory serves us both right and wrong, I found Lucrecia Martel‘s The Headless Woman hard to latch on to, tedious and never cared about the protagonist’s plight which is the opposite about how I felt about Martel’s The Holy Girl (La Niña Santa). Strand Releasing have picked up the difficult The Headless Woman and if they are smart, they’ll pounce on Spanish-speaking crowds as well as, the regular art-house patrons.
Variety reports that the pic will start a small theatrical run on Aug. 19 at Film Forum.
