The wild bunch, bold cinematic rebels and adventurous films
CHILE | 74 minutes | 2018
Somewhere in southern Chile, Maria escapes from a cult and takes refuge in the woods. There, the dark fairytales of childhood play out, the ones where the wolf is always lurking nearby. La Casa Lobo, the first film by two artists, is by every definition a work of art, a hallucinatory animated film that brings back the magic of cinema. Lynch’s early films (Alphabet, Grandmother, Eraserhead) come to mind, those fever dreams where fantasy twists into grotesquerie. A film with a venomous biet, it’s an enthralling, nightmarish experience where you’ll want to keep your eyes wide open. Even after the credits roll . . .
