El Cuerpo (2012)

"El Cuerpo" is a Spanish thriller built around a corpse that vanishes from a morgue. The deception that unravels afterward drives the story forward. Belen Rueda anchors the film with a performance that mixes cool menace and vulnerability. The archive here gathers 3 scenes that reveal a rawer side of her screen presence. She appears nude and exposed at points. This adds an unexpected layer of intimacy to the story's cold, clinical setting. It's a compact stop, but a worthwhile one for anyone following her body of work.
