THE HEADLESS WOMAN

One the way home from a family gathering, glamorous middle-aged professional Veronica appears to be involved in a hit-and-run car accident. Or was she? Suffering a head injury, traumatised and confused, she tries, with unreliable evidence and the help of her family, to put the pieces together. But is this amnesia a symptom of a deeper, darker secret? Maria Onetto excels in this hallucinatory and deeply unsettling psychodrama that plays out like a dream bordering on nightmare. This is hard core art-house for aficionados. Don’t miss it.
