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. The pacing can be a bit uneven, but it adds to the dreamlike quality. Plus, the practical effects are charmingly old-school, showcasing creativity over CGI. There’s an authenticity to the performances that feels genuine, like he pulled something real from his actors. Definitely a captivating watch for those into the deeper cuts of cinema.
