3/5

Gandía melds comedic narrative and documentary techniques for a style that's like a more playful version of The Act of Killing, or a less pompous, more self-effacing cousin to Alejandro Jodorowsky's recent Fellini-esque self-mythologizing.

A bubbly pink mocktail of a film, The Mystery of the Pink Flamingo embodies the spirit of its subject in wonderfully weird ways that entertain even when they don't quite hit the mark.

This documentary, directed by Javier Polo, is as stand out as the bird it concerns itself with.

3/5

Surprisingly wide-ranging in light of its subject, and in danger of possessing meaning and value despite itself, this celebration of the lighthearted, the flimsy and the faintly ridiculous warms the heart.

A fun pseudo documentary with great characters and a colorful look. Interesting mix of documentary and fiction that with great characters.

It's jolly, childlike in a good way, and unusual where it counts.
