We couldn't find
all that much online about this little nightmare of a short film, at least not
in a language we understand. The director, writer and production duo behind the
film, Marc Riba & Anna Solanas, seem to be
the CEOs of I+G Stop Motion
in Barcelona, "an independent production company specialized in stop
motion animation and puppet animation." This short is a dark, nightmarish example
of their mastery.
The storyline
commonly found online is "Violeta loves best fishing into the darkest
depths," which is little more than a play on the film's title, which
translates into something like "Violeta, the fisherwoman of the dark
sea." In the end, Violeta, la
pescadora del mar negro is somewhat plotless; more than anything else, it
is simply an oneiric, disturbing tableaux of dank and disturbing scenes that play
out consecutively and interlink, but there is no real beginning or end to the narrative.
Nothing is resolved or revealed in this short: what went on before, and what will
transpire afterwards is a mystery — the only thing for sure is that it wasn't,
and won't be, pleasant.
