this is fascinating! i have never seen anything quite like it. the things it does with time are interesting. sections are powerfully inertial, a sort of shepherd's tone of sequences which flow into one another. then once the central mystery begins, motion is completely gone. it captures the feeling of episodes of psychosis extremely well, without feeling like it's making a spectacle of it in the slightest. the phrase 'We have never found out why, / nor ever who he was...' repeating throughout the subtitles is a remarkable addition to the film.
Sincerely one of my favorite movies of all time. Completely beautiful and eerie and sad.
I loved this as a sort of meta-meditation on being a creator. I am kind of obsessed with the quote they kept repeating (in the subtitles at least). I have read about ten reviews of the film so far and not one has even mentioned it. At first I thought it might have been some literary reference but it doesn't pop up when searched. Curious.
super cool, but the subtitles are messy on this cut
this spanish film is both to boring and bad!
