El Sol was screened at the Rotterdam Film Festival and funded by the Hubert Bals fund. What a waste of money. The animation is very crude and looks childish and is very uneven. The story starts off okay, but then becomes vague and relies on violence and shock. And even if you do like the story, seriously, the animation is so dire that you won't even care. 72 minutes feels like more than 3 hours with this one. It's a shame, because this guy made Mercano the Martian which was actually good... I voted a 2, and was ready to walk out after 15 minutes but actually stayed and watched the whole thing. Possible spoiler: I did like the first potato scene about 60% into the movie...
