Our take
After years of experience in art and music, Sebastían Silva made his filmmaking debut with an offbeat meta-comedy that pops with absurdist detail and fantastical performances. Life is submerged in black and white in this surreal look at art-making and mortality—color, meanwhile, belongs to cinema.
