Había Una Vez

About This Movie

Había Una Vez, while shrouded in mystery with its unknown year and director, carries a certain allure. The tone feels nostalgic yet haunting, like a long-lost memory that’s stuck between dreams and reality. The pacing is a bit uneven, which might throw some off, but it really adds to the overall atmosphere. Themes of time, loss, and perhaps yearning are woven throughout. There’s something about the practical effects—though they don't always land perfectly—that give it a unique charm. It’s one of those films that you might find yourself thinking about long after it ends, making you wonder about the stories that linger just outside the frame. It’s distinctive in its ambiguity, leaving a lot open to interpretation.

'Había Una Vez' is quite the enigma in the collector's world. Its rare releases have made it a bit of a ghost in the archives, with few copies floating around, especially in good condition. This scarcity has piqued the interest of serious collectors, as there’s a certain thrill in unearthing something so elusive. The film's lack of clear details only adds to its intrigue, making it a fascinating topic of discussion among those who appreciate cinema's more obscure corners.
