True Spanish Detectives


Marshland (2014)

Directed by Alberto Rodriguez this film stars Raul Arevalo and Javier Guiterrez. In 1980 two policemen are sent from Madrid to the Guadalquivir Marshes to look for two missing teenage girls.

Set against the backdrop of Spain coming to terms with its fascist past this murder mystery has more than a hint of the first season of True Detective about it. The plot is good and keeps you gripped through out. Where the film is best is some of the fantastic cinematography, especially the top down shots of the marshes.

4/5
