It is one of the great hidden gems and one of the most unfair failures of recent cinema: you can now stream an essential stop-motion film for free

What a surprise he just gave us Fernando Cortizo with the free streaming launch of ‘O Apostle’a great movie stop motion animation who had been missing in action for a long time. Everything points to an attempt to recover costs on his part, since Cortizo assures that he was swindled by the distributors, since they promised him a premiere in 80 cinemas and finally it was only released in 13 theaters

To see it you just have to enter in Youtubewhere it is available in high definition and with the possibility of seeing it with subtitles in up to 19 different languages. In addition to its rarity in Spanish cinema, ‘O Apóstolo’ also stands out for being the second film made through the use of stop-motion stereoscopy. The first was ‘The worlds of Coraline’.

why is it worth it

It is also worth highlighting the successful use made of Galician folklore in parallel to the story of a convict who has just escaped from prison and sets himself the goal of recovering the loot he hid in a small and isolated village many years ago. Obviously, things will not go as expected in a horror movie with an effective atmosphere and highly recommended if you are still looking for something to watch this coming Halloween.

Within the vocal cast of ‘O Apóstole’, the participation of actors such as Paul Naschy, Luis Tosar, Jorge Sanz, Manuel Manquiña or Geraldine Chaplin. Unfortunately, that did not prevent it from being a box office failure, earning just over 62,000 euros during its run in theaters.

By the way, Cortizo has released the film for free in part hoping see if this way you can recover part of the investment madeIt’s already over “the possibility of making donations to pay the debts of its production cost“, which was never recovered, and you can also get the movie on dvd through your website.
