In recent years, movies and shows about time travel such as The Paper Girls and even the grossly-underrated JL50 have challenged the possibilities that the genre has to offer. From allowing one to envision an opportunity to alter the past to accepting a future which seems too convoluted, perplexing and beyond one’s imagination. There’s never been a better time to go down the sci-fi rabbit hole. But there are films that have also explored the genre through the lens of a crime thriller, rendering a gripping watch like none other. Oriol Paulo’s sci-fi thriller Mirage is a great example and it’s our Lost and Found for today.
The Spanish film, dubbed in English, follows a medical professional who chances upon a vintage TV set which acts as a portal to communicate with a young child based a couple of decades in the past. When she learns that this preteen was killed in an accident, she makes it her life’s mission to save his life. But altering the past inadvertently triggers a chain of events that actually impacts her own present, spiralling her into a world where she can barely recognise or accept her own identity.
Directed by Oriol Paulo, best known for films such as The Body and The Invisible Guest which was remade in Hindi as the Amitabh Bachchan-starrer Badla, this one packs the filmmaker’s signature style of keeping the audiences consistently nervous about the events to follow. Paulo’s narrative style allows one to slip into the story with such immersion that one can actually experience what the characters on the screen must be going through. But despite your best attempts, it’s unlikely that you’ll be able to stitch it all together and figure out the big reveal that this film’s climax packs. Let’s just say, we didn’t see it coming and if you’re up for a film with multiple twists and shocking revelations, add Mirage to your watchlist right away.
