Arrebato

Arrebato ([areˈβato], "Rapture") is a 1979 Spanish art house horror film written and directed by Ivan Zulueta.

It is Zulueta's only feature film and is considered to be a cult classic of Spanish Cinema and is counted as part of the art movement La Movida Madrileña.

José Sirgado (Eusebio Poncela) is a frustrated horror film director and heroin addict in a tumultuous relationship with Ana Turner (Cecilia Roth).

The cousin of his ex-girlfriend Marta, Pedro (Will More), sends him a reel of film, an audio cassette, and the key to his apartment despite the fact that the two have only met twice.

Later, José and Ana, remembering this visit, decide to watch the mysterious reel of film while listening to the rest of the audio cassette.

Curious, Pedro allows the camera to film him multiple times as he sleeps, only to discover that the red still frames are growing in number.

José complies, finding the apartment empty, and discovers the film to be entirely red except for one frame of Pedro's face.

"[2] Jorge Fidalgo from CineDivergente.com praised the film, comparing it to Ingmar Bergman's Persona, writing, "Iván Zulueta, as did Bergman with Persona, moves away from the thematic and technical assumptions of conventional cinema, and chooses to play freely with the elements of audiovisual language, making Arrebato a challenge for film exegesis and a quasi-lysergic experience for the spectators.
