DECORADO (una vida en escena), de Alberto Vázquez

Abstract

[EN] Alberto Vázquez is one of the most well-known Spanish animation director. He is an author who draws and tells stories, and, through his last masterpiece, Decorado, he shows us his goût for different types of cartoons and humor of different filmmakers (for example, the use of ornate spellings and engraving typical of Terry Gilliam, as well as the animal characters based on the underground-style of Robert Crumb are a clue to follow).As the animated curtain rises, with apparent simplicity and, as disturbing as effective, this short film transports us to a territory that (dis)connects us to the analogue of everyday reality and immerses us in the pseudo-reality. Decoradohas received the Goya Award to the Best pa-nish Animated Short Film, as well as it has de-served applause and acceptance of a long list of festivals, including Cannes and Annecy, among many others. Decorado, eleven minutes of enjoyment that is renewed with each new view.

[ES] Que Alberto Vázquez es un autor que dibuja y que cuenta historias es algo que a estas alturas (de la película) ofrece pocas dudas. A través de Decorado nos muestra su gusto por diferentes tipos de dibujos animados y el humor de diferentes cineastas (lo de las grafías recargadas y el uso de grabados muy del gusto de Terry Gilliam y animales del pelo de Robert Crumb es una pista a seguir).En cuanto se levanta el telón, con aparente sencillez y de un modo tan inquietante como efectivo, nos presenta una oferta que no podremos rechazar, transportándonos a un territorio que nos conecta/desconecta de la realidad cotidiana analógica y nos sumerge en la realidad mediatizada. Decorado ha recibido el merecido aplauso y acogida de una interminable lista de festivales, como Cannes, Annecy, y Toronto, entre muchos otros.Decorado, once minutos de disfrute que se renueva con cada nuevo visionado.
