1992

A commissioned work created as part of the exhibition Al-Andalus: the Art of Islamic Spain mounted in 1992 by the Alhambra, Granada and the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York. Which Villaronga turned into yet another strange, multi-faceted creation. A mix between cool, almost dour pedagogical presentations of facts and a fancy, sometimes flighty evocation of the world from which the exhibits originated.

After the mysterious death of her ex-boyfriend, a radio presenter is troubled by the paranormal. Villaronga was brought in as the director and gave this pleasantly creepy film - with an astounding opening and a horror-fan approved ending - his own contrary twist.
