According to the filmmaker, El Cuadro is a metaphor for obsession. This stylish black-and-white short was shot on the volcanic island of Lanzarote.

You have some great shots, music, and the black and white thing really works for this. But I don't understand what she was obsessed with.

While it is a good short in general, it becomes a little boring after it's first half.

El Cuadro es película hermosa. Ésta es película tan fuerte. Me recuerda un poco las películas de Alejandro Jodorowsky:)

Real beautiful. Reminds me a bit of Bunuel's early films. Great music too, but definitely not for everyone's tastes. You'll love it if you are into modern music and art, though

It is a very focused film. I felt physically uncomfortable while watching it. The movements and music made me want to curl my toes involuntarily. This was beautiful.

very intense and deep film , really communicates the concept of obsession, the cinematography is fantastic

Interensting concept bordering upon (But not quite reaching) the profound. Personally, however, the use of special effects and computer animation detracted from the central aspects intended to be conveyed in this film. ***1/2.
