So, 'Blind Passion' is quite the curious entry in the animation realm from 1979. It's part of 'Histories of Love and Carnage,' which might catch you off guard if you're expecting something sweet or romantic. The tone is really gritty, almost unapologetic, tackling topics like sexuality and aging in a way that's pretty raw. There's a unique pacing to it that feels deliberate, like it's forcing you to sit with the uncomfortable bits. The animation style is distinct, with practical effects that give it a tactile quality. You definitely sense the experimental vibe here, which makes it stand out against other animations of the time. It’s fascinating how it captures such a blunt perspective on human nature. Just not your typical animated fare, that's for sure.
This film has a rather niche status among collectors, as it was one of the first adult-oriented animated films from Spain, which adds to its intrigue. Formats are somewhat limited, and it’s not easy to find in good condition, making it a rare piece for those interested in the evolution of animation. The scarcity of this title coupled with its bold themes draws a particular interest from enthusiasts who appreciate the more avant-garde side of animation history.
