About This Movie
La Mesa is a fascinating blend of animation and experimental storytelling that digs deep into memory and identity, especially through a queer lens. The narrative unfolds in a somewhat disjointed style, which mirrors the fragmented nature of recollection itself. The filmmaker's father recounts tales of rural Mexico, and it's all interspersed with quirky reenactments from pop culture that add a layer of commentary. The pacing is unique, oscillating between reflective moments and vibrant, sometimes chaotic scenes. There's a rawness to the animation, lending an emotional weight to the themes of desire and nostalgia. It’s definitely a different kind of viewing experience, one that sticks with you in a subtle way.
