Fantastic Fest: O'Apostolo

FANTASTIC FEST 2013 
Screening #14:

 O'Apostolo IMDb
This Spanish Claymation was pretty darn good.  If this was live action, it wouldn't have worked for me.  Love the details on every single frame.  It's dark and gothic.  This is something Tim Burton could do except he might make it more childish.  Hmm! That might be an idea for him if he wants to make a remake out of this for American audiences.  This movie is about a thief who escapes prison to go to this one village where there's hidden gold.  The townspeople have secrets of their own.  Things become dark and sinister but our thief opens his eyes and makes life changing decisions.  Overall, pretty good.  I wouldn't buy it but this is worth checking out.
Croquetas de papa served with Cava.
