Apaga... y vámonos

About This Movie

So, 'Apaga... y vámonos' is quite the curious little film from 1981. You've got this offbeat comedy vibe wrapped around a bizarre premise—Gustavo, our young inventor, finds himself in a real pickle, wrongly accused of terrorism. The narrative unfolds through his somewhat erratic recounting of events, which adds an interesting layer of confusion and humor. The practical effects are charmingly rudimentary, fitting the film’s quirky tone, and the pacing—well, it has its lulls, but that just gives it a sort of laid-back charm. Themes of escapism and familial ties run throughout, making you ponder the absurdity of his father’s dream to leave Earth for Vesta. There's a unique indie spirit here that collectors might appreciate.
