A man is visited by the ghosts of the dead in his dreams. What happens when the lines between dream and reality become blurred? A contemporary retelling of Hamlet where two narrations in different languages engage in a dialogue about desire and loss. Hand-painted and digital animation on Super 8mm film. Spanish with English subtitles.
Two Summers ago, on May 27th, 2022, the theatrical cinematic realms were re-awakened from their post-COVID dormant state of being by a little film titled "Top Gun: Maverick". It re-introduced us to the absolute elation of seeing not only a highly anticipated (and, granted, 36 years in the making!) sequel, but the return of the quintessential Summer blockbuster to witness on the BIG screen again.
I can say without question, that this is the first movie I’ve ever seen where art imitates life so much that I could 100% identify with it on a personal level. The predominately Black cast of characters are people with hopes, dreams, fears, and ambitions.
A cat-and-mouse chase that will make viewers nostalgic for the cartoon series.
The classic ghosts-in-revenge story expanded into an extensive dig into the historical social system while being funny and horny.
The relationship between Will and Sean is the best part of the movie. It’s always a delight to see Robin Williams on screen
Overall, Cruella stands above the other Disney retellings. Its dark and bold, and that is exactly what these retellings should be. Emma Stone continues to prove she's one of the finest young actresses working today, and Emma Thompson gives one of the best villain performances in the last decade. The fashion is stunning, the dogs are adorable, and the story is wildly vibrant and original. It's classic movie fun, and it shouldn't be overlooked.
