Reality and hypotheses?Ģ. However that may be, the whole film is nevertheless intriguing.ġ. Some have complained that the screenplay is, in fact, full of plot holes and, therefore, implausible. There is what seems an extraordinary revelation at the end, a dramatic twist to what is an absorbing drama. However, Virginia turns the tables and raises a different hypothesis, the film visualising how Adrian was in charge and control the whole situation, even to killing his lover and setting up the story about the vengeful father. There is also the theory about the father of the dead man, who had assisted the lover in the repair of her car, tracking down Adrian, setting up meetings in a hotel, attacking Adrian, killing the lover, and how he got out of the locked room. Adrian explains how Laura, the lover, took control of the situation and he went along with it, including pushing the car with the dead body into a lake. Very strong and strong-minded woman advocate arrives at Adrian’s hotel, Virginia Goodman (Anna Wagener) and puts Adrian through his paces in order to prepare for his defence in court and the arrival of a surprise witness.Īdrian has been lying but Virginia Goodman draws out his narrative about what happened, his rendezvous with a lover, their driving back to the city, a deer running across the road, an accident, a car skidding and a young man dead. His lawyer has been on the case, getting information, altering situations like hotel and flight bookings, covering up. The film initially focuses on Adrian, Mario Casas, accused of murdering his lover in a hotel. There is also the atmosphere of the Spanish countryside as well as of the cities. There is a strong Spanish atmosphere about the film, about contemporary business, about legal structures, about prosecution and defence. The Invisible Guest is an intriguing murder case.
