If you loved Juegos viriles, try El péndulo, el pozo y la esperanza
Un puente entre una película que ya has visto y una que casi nadie ha cruzado. Esto es lo que comparten, y lo que la segunda hace que la primera no hace.
Lo que comparten
Both films are directed by Jan Švankmajer, and they both carry the surreal mood tag, and they sit in Animation / Horror territory. If that's the register that drew you to Juegos viriles, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
surreal
What El péndulo, el pozo y la esperanza is
A medieval dungeon’s torch guttering against damp stone. Iron teeth gnaw the floorboards a millimetre at a time. Jan Švankmajer’s stop-motion grotesques drag you down the same spiral you first climbed.
