ALGUIEN TE ESTA MIRANDO
(aka SOMEBODY IS WATCHING YOU)
dirs. Horacio Maldonado and Gustavo Cova, 1988
72 mins. Argentina.
In Spanish with English subtitles.

Five students agree to be test subjects for a new American drug that allows people to share dreams. While on a trip to the countryside, they begin to notice strange occurrences happening around them. As they are terrorized by a local gang during their trip, we learn that the countryside trip is a dream they've been sharing together. However, one of them is beginning to take things in a much more brutal nature, putting the 5 at risk of dying in their dream and potentially never being able to wake up. Released in the years following the end of the military junta and before the neoliberal policies of Carlos Menem, ALGUIEN TE ESTA MIRANDO is everything classic Argentine cinema isn't, influenced by slasher films and rock music with a youthful presence, along with a sci-fi twist that evokes future films with simulated reality as a major theme.

This SPECTOBER, Spectacle is thrilled to present ALGUIEN TE ESTA MIRANDO in a gorgeous new 5K restoration courtesy of Gotika releasing. Programmed in collaboration with Anthony Chassi.
