About This Movie

So, 'Love, Blood, & Aztec Demons: The Lost Films Of Juan F. Moctezuma II' is really something. It’s this deep dive into the work of a director who’s kind of fallen through the cracks. His films from '59 to '77 blend folklore with raw human emotion, which is fascinating. You get a sense of his unique vision; he wasn't afraid to tackle heavy themes with an almost surreal flair.
