La-Gar-To

About This Movie

La-Gar-To is this odd little gem that really nails that unsettling vibe of childhood exploration. The way it captures the beauty and strangeness of Nicaragua is pretty fascinating, especially with all those iguanas lurking around, almost like they’re characters in their own right. The pacing feels a bit off-kilter, which, to me, adds to the dreamlike quality. And while the director's identity remains a mystery, the performances from the young cast bring a genuine innocence that's hard to replicate. It’s atmospheric, definitely not your typical family flick, leaving you with more questions than answers. If you appreciate films that evoke a sense of wonder and unease simultaneously, La-Gar-To has a place in your collection.

La-Gar-To remains somewhat elusive in terms of physical media, with only a limited number of copies surfacing in indie film circles. Its scarcity has piqued the interest of collectors who enjoy unique narratives that stray from mainstream fare. The film's distinctive atmosphere and unusual premise add to its charm, making it a noteworthy piece for those who appreciate the quirks of independent cinema.
