I love a movie that shows more than tells. Love the stuff going on in the foreground. Cool design of the world. Excellent homage to Tim Burton and Brother's Grim. Audio is great, there is even attention to Panning and room-space. Instrumentation is on point, great composition and campy vibe. Just about every emotion is here. The theme/plot is also a mystery...I love trying to solve what the movie is about.
Overall: "The Man Who Ruled" is campy, dark, dismal, twisted, tongue in cheek, an emotional roller-coaster (literally) and doesn't waste a second of screen time. Can't compliment you enough PedroZorilla, beautiful work.
