So, 'Viva la muerte! Autopsie du nouveau cinéma fantastique espagnol' is a fascinating deep dive into the world of Spanish horror and fantasy cinema, specifically the new wave that emerged in the late 20th century. The pacing is deliberately measured, allowing the viewer to soak in the surreal visuals and practical effects that defined the genre. It's filled with eclectic interviews and vintage footage that really bring out the distinctive atmosphere of that era. The themes of death and the macabre are explored through a lens that’s both analytical and oddly celebratory. The film's tone feels almost like a love letter, or maybe a requiem, for a style of filmmaking that dared to push boundaries. You get a sense of reverence for the craft here, which makes it all the more interesting to watch.
Great for fans of Spanish cinema.Interesting insights into practical effects.Focus on atmosphere and thematic depth.
