Como Caído del Cielo. José Pepe Bojórquez. 2019. ☆☆★★★★
A Mexican movie? I think this is the first one I’ve seen in this blog series?
So the plot is that a dead guy’s er spirit gets to take over a dying guy’s body. Hilarity should ensue, but doesn’t really. Instead they go right to the new guy trying to fuck the dead guy’s wife (without her knowing, of course), and it all starts seeming kinda rapey and creepy.
But then… it kinda swerves around that point and becomes kinda sweet. It’s wildly uneven, though.
The performances are fine, and it’s well-made, but it just kinda… just keeps rolling along without finding purchase.
OK, it’s pretty bad.
