Guilty Pleasures
2 Episodes
Hit-and-run accidents set off shockwaves of guilt, paranoia, and recrimination in this gripping, psychologically charged pairing. Anna Mantzaris’s stingingly ironic stop-motion short GOOD INTENTIONS bristles with expressionistic unease as it evokes the torment that consumes a woman following a car crash. An adulterous couple also face the repercussions of their misdeeds in DEATH OF A CYCLIST, a riveting, coolly stylish noir melodrama from Juan Antonio Bardem that doubles as a button-pushing commentary on class and social hypocrisy in Franco’s Spain.
