About This Movie

ALIENS (2017) is a fascinating dive into the mind of Tesa Arranz, who was deeply embedded in the 1980s Madrid scene. The documentary uniquely intertwines her vibrant, surreal portraits of extraterrestrial beings with her own memories, poems, and diaries. It creates this layered emotional atmosphere, reflecting on Spanish history while exploring themes of identity and creativity. The pacing has this reflective quality, allowing viewers to really sink into her artistic process. What stands out is the rawness of her work, almost haunting at times, and the way her personal narrative is woven through her art. It’s not just about the paintings; it's about the artist's journey, which brings a certain depth that's hard to find in typical docs.
