"Spanish filmmaker Nacho Vigalondo made his feature debut in 2007 with the independent film that provided the template for all his work to come. Timecrimes - newly released in a 4K UHD restoration by Vinegar Syndrome - is a low-budget exploration of an exceptionally bizarre time loop problem, deploying essentially no visual effects while telling an increasingly complex tale of a man trapped in a temporal paradox who keeps creating new versions of himself."
"Timecrimes was well received when it premiered at Austin's Fantastic Fest in September 2007, and went into limited release afterwards. The film won two medals at Fantastic Fest, while Vigalondo won Best New Director at Spain's 23rd annual Goya Awards. The film holds a 90% "fresh" rating from critics on Rotten Tomatoes, as well as a sturdy 79% audience score."
Timecrimes centers on Hector, who spots a partially naked woman in nearby woods, is attacked by a bandaged man, discovers a time machine, and travels back one hour, spawning multiple versions of himself as he attempts to halt a causal spiral. The film relies on ideas and resourceful low-budget filmmaking with virtually no visual effects. Karra Elejalde stars as Hector. Vinegar Syndrome released a 4K UHD restoration. The film premiered at Fantastic Fest in September 2007, won two medals there, earned Vigalondo a Goya for Best New Director, and holds strong critics and audience scores on Rotten Tomatoes.
