La Huida (The runaway in the english version) from director Víctor Carrey, is one of those films that gives the viewer too many details right at the beginning. However, it does neatly tie everything up in the end, from the random passing ant to spilled hot coffee to the bright dog leash. It takes you from one piece of info to the next without a skip, then gently saunters into a musical journey of a guy with a briefcase. It’s odd, it’s silly, and it’s undeniably enjoyable. Garnering at least 70 awards internationally, La Huida is a film that promises mind-blowing deconstruction and beautiful cinematography. It’s a visual treat with a hint of mystery and fun, just the film you’ve been looking for when you need something different yet entertaining.
