Gracias, Che Cortázar

About This Movie

So, 'Gracias, Che Cortázar' is an animated piece that, even though the director's name is lost to time, captures a certain poetic essence reminiscent of Julio Cortázar's literary style. The animation is quite unique, almost dreamlike at times, with a playful yet serious tone that reflects on themes of identity and memory. The pacing feels contemplative, allowing viewers to soak in the visuals and sounds. It’s not your typical animation; there’s an artistry in the practical effects that gives it a tactile quality. You can almost feel the brush strokes. It sort of invites you to ponder rather than just consume, which is what makes it stand out in the sea of 80s animated films.
