Fantaspoa has always been at the forefront of supporting Iberoamerican filmmakers, and to be honest, this year’s crop of movies is right up there in terms of quality. The aforementioned History of the Occult aside, I really enjoyed two other films.
Los Que Vuelven is an Argentinian period film somewhat akin to
The Returned. A premise of the dead coming back to life with a decidedly South American flavor. It also happens to feature Lali González, one of the most talented Paraguayan actresses of the decade.
Nocturna – La Noche del Hombre Grande is yet another Argentinian production. This one focuses on senility, the ghosts of our past and the people in our lives we thought we knew. Totally different from Los Que Vuelven, it’s a hidden gem well worth seeking out. The cinematography alone is worth the price of admission.
