Joaquin Bordado is a curious piece from 1988 that blends elements of revenge and mysticism in a rather peculiar way. The story follows Bordado, a man driven by vengeance for his son's fate, and it takes a turn when he meets this enigmatic old man in prison who tattoos mystical animals on him, which gives a strange edge to the narrative. You get this gritty, almost raw atmosphere throughout, with practical effects that have a certain charm. The pacing feels a bit uneven at times, but that’s part of its quirky appeal. There’s just something about its offbeat take on vengeance and transformation that lingers.
Joaquin Bordado has had a somewhat elusive presence in the collector's market, with few releases available, mostly on VHS. Its scarcity adds to the allure for collectors, as many are drawn to its unconventional narrative and mystic elements. Fans of cult cinema appreciate its distinctive style, making it a topic of interesting discussion among enthusiasts.
