All Movie Guide Synopsis:Intacto is a stylish, offbeat psychological thriller from Spain. Samuel Berg (Max Von Sydow) is an old man who lives beneath a gambling casino in the Canary Islands. In Berg's world, good fortune is a commodity that can be acquired from others, and while would-be gambler Federico (Eusebio Poncela) has a genuine talent for taking good luck from those who have it, Berg's gift is even stronger, After a long day of absorbing positive vibrations from winning gamblers, Berg steals the day's "take" from him, leaving Federico to plan his revenge. Federico becomes aware of Tomas (Leonardo Sbaraglia), a man who recently survived a plane crash, and is convinced he has even more luck than Berg can overcome; the two become partners, and Federico enters Tomas in an underground tournament designed to determine who Lady Luck smiles upon most sweetly. Intacto received its American premiere at the 2002 Sundance Film Festival.
