Intacto

Intacto (2001) — watch online this Spanish thriller from director Juan Carlos Fresnadillo on iFILM. The premise is blunt and strange: luck is a finite, transferable force. Touch someone and you can strip them of theirs. Survive a plane crash alone, and you become the most valuable person in a very dangerous room.

That sole survivor is Tomás (Leonardo Sbaraglia). Federico, who can steal fortune with a single hand, recruits him for a high-stakes game against Sam (Max von Sydow) — an aged casino owner whose luck appears inexhaustible. The contests are genuinely unsettling: blindfolded sprints through a dark forest, where the winner is simply the one who doesn't hit a tree.

Fresnadillo took home the Fantasporto European Fantasy Film Award for this debut feature — an odd, disciplined piece of work that treats an abstract idea with physical brutality. Stream Intacto (2001) online on iFILM.
