La Pursé

About This Movie

La Pursé, from 2022, is this curious blend of animation that really straddles the line between horror and dark comedy. You’ve got Mr. Badú, this quirky old taxidermist, obsessively pining for his neighbor, Mrs. Aurelia, who’s got her own struggles with a rather miserable cat. The atmosphere is peculiar—almost a sleepy suburban vibe that contrasts with the underlying madness of the characters. The pacing's a bit off-kilter, which adds to the sense of dread and humor all at once. The animation style has a raw, hand-crafted feel to it, which keeps it distinctive. The character performances deliver this strange charm, making you both chuckle and cringe. It’s a love story, but not in the traditional sense; it’s layered and unsettling, you know?
