So, El Halcon - The Falcon - / Revue Orchis - A Star Named Orchis is a curious piece from 2007. The tone feels almost dreamlike, with this ethereal quality that lingers throughout.

The performances, while maybe not the most polished, have a rawness that adds to its charm. The practical effects, whatever they might be, give it a distinctive feel that sets it apart from many contemporary films. It’s definitely one of those rarities where the whole is greater than the sum of its parts, leaving you in a contemplative state afterward.
