MOLAA and Colombian Cinema Showcase's Sunday series concludes today with its usual admirably diverse programming—stuff for the kids with Juanito Bajo El Naranjo, stuff for the punkish with the documentary Gogol Bordello Non Stop and stuff for the freaks with the short Efecto Disintegrador and the feature Yo Soy Otro. We'll go with the freaks. Efecto (about “virus, dogs, flying saucers and suicidal airplanes”) is shot like one of Richard (A Scanner Darkly) Linklater’s techno-rotoscoped animations and is bleeding with bizarre dystopic visuals. And Otro is about a man who catches a gruesome jungle virus—displayed with gruesome practical effects—and discovers at the moment of his (possible?) suicide that the world is suddenly filled with his own also-infected doubles. Stare death in the face? Well, he’ll get used to it. Plus thriller Plata O Plomo, the grim Entre Nos and more.
