Mambo

Julie Bille Siri Melchior 1996 Denmark Animation color 4min Danish
A strikingly colourful, surrealistic, animated film, inspired by the work of female Peruvian singer Yma Sumac. Music and imagery flow congenially together in this tragi-comical story of a little boy who dies and goes to heaven, only to be seduced by an operatic angel who takes him to hell.
