Involución, de historias y deshistorias

About This Movie

Involución, de historias y deshistorias is a fascinating exploration of existence through the lens of animation. The film's unique linocut aesthetic gives it an almost tactile quality, inviting the viewer to ponder the nature of being. The story, inspired by Victor Argueta, unfolds in a surreal manner, depicting a mother-queen-child-cannibal-larva who is blissfully unaware of her own existence. There's this haunting atmosphere throughout, a slow, dreamlike pacing that resonates with themes of consumption and transformation. You can really feel the weight of the visuals, and the practical effects have a rawness that sets it apart from more polished animations. It's a distinct piece that lingers long after the credits roll.
