La Mujer sin Cabeza

The Headless Woman

(Argentina/Spain/France/Italy, 2008, 89 minutes)

A smalltown dentist hits her head in a car accident when she runs over something, and, not quite herself for the next few days, starts fretting she may have killed someone. Oblique but craftily, economically handled drama that leaves the viewer guessing.
