Movies by Nacho Vigalondo

Nacho Vigalondo is a boldly inventive Spanish filmmaker who blends mind-bending science fiction, suspense, and black comedy into his singular cinematic vision. From his early breakout with the time-looping thriller Timecrimes to his genre-blending monster movie Colossal, Vigalondo's work is defined by its audacious, often unpredictable narrative structure and a keen understanding of how to subvert audience expectations. Vigalondo's films frequently explore themes of isolation, identity, and the blurring of fantasy and reality. He frequently toys with nonlinear storytelling, shifting perspectives, and untrustworthy protagonists to create a sense of disorientation and unease. Yet beneath the stylistic flourishes, his work is grounded in sharply drawn characters and a keen social commentary, whether tackling the perils of online voyeurism in Open Windows or the power dynamics of celebrity in Colossal. Vigalondo's singular voice has made him a distinctive and acclaimed figure in world cinema, a filmmaker unafraid to subvert genre tropes and push the boundaries of what a movie can be.
