This was my introduction to The Mars Volta. I saw it almost 2 years ago and have been obsessed with TMV ever since. I have every album and have been to 4 concerts. You did an exceptional job of portraying the de-loused theme and I want to thank you personally. You very well may have saved my life. Thank you.

Touched me deeply. One of the most alive movies I've seen here. Definitely a favorite.

"oh my gosh! *bursts into tears*"

that's so overly depressing about the poor kid! ...why? that's so sad when he'd rather be in his mind's world than real life. i'm guess he felt more freedom & love there than in his home. his parents didn't even notice!!! SOOOOOOO SAD!!! *sobbing* i guess that was pretty good stuff. i feel SO bad for him. like he's barely loved. i think you portrayed his totally alone feeling rather well & he seemed, to me, to feel more belonging in that strange world of his. well done.

"Really enjoyed it"

I admit that i didn't expect the movie to be very interesting after i read the entire 'small boy, hope, depression' description. But now that i have seen it i must say i really enjoyed it.

The thing that i immediately liked was the visual style of the movie. Simple and effective, drawn in a children's book style that works really well. Just enough detail to keep the shots interesting, but without any unnecessary information that might distract from the story. The design of the kid was a little weird.. somehow he looked more like a senile old man to me, but since the entire movie was a little weird it somehow worked well.

I like the dreamy part and the surreal atmosphere of the unconscious part. I'm not sure if there is any symbolism in the drawings used, nor do i understand why the kid loved that world so much, but i really like the concept.

Last but not least was the magnificent soundtrack. I imagine it would be a bit strange for a someone who speaks spanish to watch this movie, since the song about prostitution has nothing to do with the movie, but frankly who cares. It's commendable enough that you thought up your own story and didn't literally animate the lyrics of some song.

I hope to see more of your work in the future. I'll add this one to my favs so i can check out from time to time if you have anything new!
