1979 movie movie
Rating: 17/20
Plot: A slightly disgruntled horror film director receives a film from an old acquaintance. Some other stuff happens.
Yet another film about film, in this case its power to suck out all of your blood until only the bedspread remains. Images will haunt, but there's a repeated musical bit that is just as haunting. This is mopey, mostly dark, but there's some levity when Pedro Almodovar's voices a side character named Gloria. It's likely unintended levity, but that's my favorite kind of levity.
Lots of drugs and lots of film. Writer/director Zulueta's perhaps dipping into film school metaphors, linking drugs to movies or movies to drugs or maybe just drugs to drugs and movies to movies, but it's effective. Zulueta's world has few settings and characters, but it's got this vibe that sucked me in, like a vampiric strip of film.
