Hierro

Spain’s reputation as a breeding ground of classy supernatural tales is given further credence by the slickly executed feature debut of commercials director Gabe Ibanez. ”Hierro” is atmospheric and intriguing … Ibanez takes a confi dent approach to the depiction of psychological torment … Ibanez does have an ace to play in his use of the remote island of El Hierro, Europe’s southernmost point. A barren, unwelcoming landscape with beaches of black, volcanic ash, it provides a spectacular backdrop to the main story instantly suggesting the elemental power of a world that seems to conspire against grief-stricken mother Maria (Elena Anaya).
