About This Movie
El niño y el Basilisco is a fascinating piece of animation that brings Manila in 1945 to life through a blend of memory and loss. The film's atmosphere is haunting, capturing the remnants of childhood innocence against a backdrop of war's devastation. The pacing is reflective, allowing you to soak in each frame and the weight of the protagonist's introspection. It’s a personal journey, as Luis Eduardo Aute's reflections connect past and present, evoking a sense of nostalgia that feels almost tangible. The practical effects are noteworthy too, enhancing the emotional landscape without overshadowing the narrative. What stands out is how it uses animation not just to tell a story, but to explore deeper themes of identity and memory amidst chaos.
