La Casa Lobo

Jaw-dropping. Quite possibly the most incredible feat of animation I've ever witnessed. This is visually arresting in the purest sense of the phrase. I planned on having dinner while watching this... my food went cold and uneaten. I was visually arrested. My ass went to visual jail. I could not look away from the screen for the entire duration.

Paul Shaffer did WHAT?! A total nightmare, stop motion animation like this has always creeped me out. From the David Lynch shorts to the hellish MadTv claymations this falls in between. I'm very thankful I have never experienced real trauma, I read up on what this was about afterword and there isnt a yuck big enough.

what the, what the ... that must be an enormous amount of labour to create this. by the way, take all the spoken words and sentences and create a Duolingo tree for me, por favor!

Could not finish it. Might be a marvelous exercise in stop-motion animation, but it bored me to death

I liked the art direction a lot and the animation was wonderful. But the narrative was too abstract and I felt it lacked direction.

Great art direction that leaves a lot to be wanted narrative wise. Tries to be unsettling but ultimately tries too hard on all front

next level

As a film/narrative this falls way too on the wrong side of pretentious for me, and it might have helped to relate more to the culture, but as a pure artistic achievement/art project it's staggeringly beautiful, up there with things like Mad God. It's very difficult to take your eyes off it for this reason. Recommended for this reason alone.

There are a handful of feature-length stop-motion horror masterpieces out there that are essential watching, and this is easily one of them. The disjointed, nonsensical plot, the oneiric and surreal constantly transitioning imagery, and the inexplicable alternation between Spanish and German, impart a wondrous weirdness unblemished by any specific message or allegory - a rare commodity.

lindo, mas poderia ser ainda menor

Watching this work of art was really a unique experience.

Can’t even imagine the talent and the effort involved in this one. Though I am not impressed with the narrative or story.

wasn't expecting jigglypuff and vegeta to turn up in this.

Storytelling is full of symbolism and explores Maria well, but the plot itself isn't always paced the greatest. However, the stop motion animation is great, full of awesome imagery and the style fits the message well. Also just love how instead of cutting to new areas it's shot kinda like a handicam and things just transition, melting away and forming instead of more conventional cuts.

Tremendous amount of work went into this visual feast.

people who watched Tool music videos are makin movies now, babyyy!

With such impressive animation on display, my total obliviousness as to what was unfolding onscreen feels somewhat dismissible, if not forgivable. Feelings I associated with its abstract story were mainly those of sorrow and distress, but I won't pretend to uncover more about its meaning circulating underneath before I revisit the film in the future.
