Review of Death and the Maiden

Paulina is the wife of a prominent lawyer in an unnamed South American country. She is deeply scarred by her horrific torture at the hands of the authoritarian regime that has been recently overthrown. Her tormentor was never caught or punished. When her husband comes home with a man, a doctor, Paulina is sure that he is her torturer and rapist. But how can she be sure if her blindfold never came off during her captivity? What follows is a psychological game of cat and mouse before the truth is revealed.
