Archenemy
Archenemy there are many of us who, beyond just entertainment or a form of artistic expression, see fiction regardless of the medium in which it is embodied Archenemy as an escape route from a hostile, suffocating, implacable reality and, especially in this year 2020 , absolutely undesirable.
If there is a subgenre that fully captures this escapist essence of the narrative, it is that of superheroes. Whether in the comic or in productions directed to the big screen, the powers, the capes and the masks have been the perfect excuse for countless readers and viewers to have found some oxygen together with characters who, deep down, are so they only project our worldly weaknesses and infirmities.
Bringing these two ingredients together, Adam Egypt Mortimer has shaped the peculiar ‘Archenemy’; a superheroic adventure that, with better intentions than results, plunges us fully into a corrupt, gray and dying city to try to illuminate it with fantasy, personality and a necessary dose of harmless violence.
In the last edition of the Sitges Festival, Mortimer turned the contest upside down with the remarkable “Daniel is not real”; a second feature film that explored the myth of the double and imaginary friends in a horror key, displaying a unique visual style and that catapulted the director’s career after his discreet debut ‘Some Kind of Hate’.
With this letter of introduction, it is not surprising that the expectations towards ‘Archenemy’ in this Sitges 2020 were through the roof and, although it has not ended up fulfilling them emphatically, it cannot be denied at any time that it is a daughter of his father; starting with an aesthetic treatment to frame.
