on netflix today so go watch it and get "el principe de los sustos" stuck in your head all week like me :-)
and then jump over to hbo max and watch both los sustos ocultos de frankelda & women wearing shoulder pads, two absolute bangers by cinema fantasma

Over at Ebert, I wrote about one of the most beautifully crafted and ambitious animated films in recent years: Cinema Fantasma's Soy Frankelda. The Ambriz Brothers are the real deal, offering up a stop motion picture that impressively folds Mexican art and culture into its fantastic worldbuilding.

Practically a highlight reel for the Ambriz’s animation chops.
