A potent mix of love and fear of a man who spent 33 years hiding out in his own home. Featuring remarkable central performances from Antonio de la Torre and Belén Cuesta, and a bold cinematic language that captures Higinio’s entrapment in highly visual terms, “The Endless Trench” functions both as the portrait of the couple’s astonishing predicament and as a broader study of the changing face of Spain under a brutal dictatorship.
