Death and the Maiden, directed by Roman Polanski in 1994, is a gripping American-British-French film that delves into the complexities of guilt and revenge. Paulina Escobar, portrayed by the talented Sigourney Weaver, is convinced that the mysterious guest (played by Ben Kingsley) brought home by her lawyer husband (Stuart Wilson) is none other than the man who kidnapped, tortured, and raped her years ago. Holding a gun to his face, she relentlessly interrogates and demands a confession from the man. As her husband begins to question her version of events, a trial is set to uncover the truth. Who will ultimately bear the weight of responsibility, and what is the real truth behind the harrowing events of the past?
