Thesis (1996), aka Tesis, directed by Alejandro Amenábar, encoded in 10 bit HEVC with AAC sound, including original theatrical Spanish 5.1 and English and French subtitles.
IMDb : https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0117883/
Video encoded in two-pass 9 000 kbps x265 10bit with the veryslow preset for archive quality image.
English subtitles OCRed, merged with other subtitles, proofed and widely corrected.
Note : Another little-seen personal favorite here. Spanish-Chilean director Alejandro Amenábar is maybe most famous for his gothic ghost story The Others and the surreal sci-fi Open Your Eyes (remade as Vanilla Sky in the US), but his debut was this nasty, suspenseful little horror number, and it's really, really effective. Ana Torrent mostly underacts, to great effect, as Ángela, a film student who discovers an underground snuff film production outfit at her university. Fele Martínez' performance would be over the top if we hadn't all known gorehound horror film nerds exactly like that (and wearing exactly that jacket in the 90s), and Eduardo Noriega (The Devil's Backbone) is by turns charming and vaguely menacing.
Red herrings abound, the story has some major twists, and it's not at all clear who Ángela can really trust until the very end. Additionally, it manages to be a still-relevant commentary on violence in media, tabloid reporting, and giving the audience what it wants, while moving at a pretty brisk pace. Not gory at all, but very suggestive of extreme violence with what it shows and what it doesn't.
The source here wasn't great quality, with both some video artifacts and slightly overzealous grain management, and the color is a bit dull, but it's apparently the only transfer available. At least it made for an easy, faithful encode. Additionally, the English subtitles were not only badly translated, but totally incomplete, having only about half the events they should, so I ended up merging them with English subtitles from another release, adjusting sync (which might still not be perfect), and then largely rewriting the translation. They're not perfect, but I believe these are the best English subtitles this film has ever had. I hope the French subtitles are ok, but sadly I'm unable to check them very much.
