Plot

Private investigator Goya Lamarca is hired to investigate Sofía's behaviour by the latter's husband after the disclosure of the suicide note of Sofía's mother.[1][2]

Cast

Production

Strangers is loosely based on the novel La soledad era esto by Juan José Millás.[4] As the script revisions increasingly diverged from the original work, Millás asked not to be credited in the film.[3] The film was produced by Enrique Cerezo PC and it had the participation of TVE.[2] Félix Murcia [es] worked as set decorator.[5]

Release

Distributed by United International Pictures (UIP),[2] the film was released theatrically in Spain on 9 April 1999.[6]

Reception

Jonathan Holland of Variety assessed that the "initially intriguing psychodrama" "falls apart after an hour when labyrinthine mind games start to swamp the action".[2]
