The Zebra

About This Movie

The Zebra is an interesting blend of comedy set against the backdrop of the Mexican Revolution. It follows Leandro and Odón, two characters who find humor in the absurdity of their situation. They encounter a zebra, mistaking it for an American horse, which sets them off on this whimsical quest. The pacing has this quirky rhythm, almost like a road movie but with a historical twist. The practical effects are charming in their simplicity, and the performances bring a lightheartedness that balances the serious undertones of war. There’s a playful absurdity here that makes it distinct; you can find yourself chuckling at their antics even as they navigate a tumultuous time.
