Tropical Vulture

About This Movie

Tropical Vulture is this intriguing blend of comedy, crime, and thriller that feels like an art piece more than a conventional narrative. You can really sense the playful chaos that George Kuchar and Miguel Calderón bring together; it’s experimental in the best way. The pacing is a bit erratic but in a way that keeps you engaged, like a rollercoaster of visual gags and dark humor. The practical effects, often low-fi, add to its charm and make it feel grounded despite its surreal elements. Overall, it’s a testament to the creative dialogue between two distinct voices in film, something that stands out in the landscape of independent cinema.

Tropical Vulture has had a somewhat limited release history, often appearing in niche festivals, which adds to its mystique among collectors. Finding a physical copy can be a challenge, and it’s particularly sought after due to the unique collaboration between Kuchar and Calderón. The film's distinct style and experimental nature make it a fascinating piece for anyone interested in the cross-pollination of cultural influences in indie filmmaking.
