The Temple

About This Movie

So, 'The Temple' is part of this intriguing series by Cristóbal León and Joaquín Cociña, which creates a distinct atmosphere through its animation style. The film has this surreal and almost haunting quality, you know? It's part of that broader narrative they weave through 'The Third World'. The pacing is deliberate, allowing you to really sink into the visuals and themes of loss and transformation. With practical effects that are quite striking, it feels tactile, almost organic. It’s not just an animated film; it feels like a visceral experience. The characters, if you can call them that, are more like symbols, and that ambiguity adds to the overall tone. It has a uniqueness that sticks with you, makes you think. Definitely worth exploring for animation aficionados.
