Hunting

About This Movie

Hunting (2020) is a continuation of Rafael Ruiz Balerdi's earlier work, Homenaje a Tarzán. It carries a unique tone, blending nostalgia with a more contemporary perspective on colonialism. The animation style stays true to Balerdi's aesthetic, but it feels fresher and more introspective. The pacing allows for a reflective viewing experience, which is rather rare in animated pieces. There's a noticeable depth in the themes explored, particularly regarding identity and cultural representation. The practical effects lend a certain tactile quality to the animation that you don’t see as much these days. It’s distinct in how it challenges the stereotypes that often come with its genre, making you think as you watch. Not your typical animated fare.
