If you loved Instituto Benjamenta, try El afinador de terremotos
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 Stephen Quay, Timothy Quay, and they both carry the slow burn, surreal mood tags, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Instituto Benjamenta, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What El afinador de terremotos is
The Brothers Quay do love a sinister fairytale. A mad doctor kidnaps an opera singer to turn her into a singing automaton. A piano tuner then arrives, perhaps too late, at the doctor's bizarre mountaintop estate. It is, if nothing else, a very specific vibe.
