I don’t see Viva La Muerte as a film per se, but more as an art piece. I had never seen something quite like it ever before; its aesthetic, editing, and especially sound design were very unique, and fit the feel of the film perfectly.
I first came across Viva La Muerte probably in 2022, when I first discovered the “Disturbing Movies Iceberg.” Over time I forgot about it, until I randomly found a copy at my local Barnes & Noble. I wanted to buy it, merely for the fact that it was part of the iceberg, but I decided not to buy it until after watching it. Anywho, I never thought this film would be the art piece that it is, until I started watching it. And honestly, I don’t really consider it visually disturbing. Yes, this is a very dark film, but when it comes to the visuals/scenes themselves, none made me have to look away (I don’t say this in an edgy way of “look at me I can handle anything”- I can’t.)
When it comes to the subject matter, this is a very dark film (as I said). I feel that Christianity is not only depicted heavily in this film, but also mocked- something that, as a Christian, I don’t like, but I concede that art should not have boundaries. There’s symbolism all throughout the film, and many scenes left me wondering if they were “real”, dreams or imaginations.
This is a surreal masterpiece.
P.S. I very much dislike the content of this film, but I really like its art.
