Mike is joined by podcaster Aaron Peterson (The Hollywood Outsider) and filmmaker Miguel Llansó (Crumbs, Jesus Shows You the Way to the Highway, Infinite Summer) for a conversation about Rafael Corkidi’s elusive 1971 or 1972 feature debut Ángeles y querubines (Angels and Cherubs). Once presumed lost, this visually ravishing curio from Mexico’s surrealist wave plunges into Edenic allegory, spiritual symbolism, and vampiric resurrection.
The trio explores how Corkidi’s background as cinematographer on El Topo and The Holy Mountain shaped his arresting compositions—and why his directorial efforts remain both transfixing and narratively confounding.
From telepathic puppets to exploding fruit and bite-marked lovers, Ángeles y querubines drifts between religious critique and mystical dream logic. Expect reflections on Corkidi’s artistic lineage, the politics of Mexican Catholicism, and the fine line between visual poetry and ponderous indulgence. This is Maudit May at its most daring—cinema that challenges, alienates, and haunts.
