The Triptych of Mondongo review one part art documentary, two parts directorial megalomania
Briefly

Mariano Llinas's ambitious three-part film on the Argentinian art collective Mondongo examines the intertwining of creativity and chaos. Initially focused on Mondongo's 2021 project, the 'Baptistery of Colours', documenting their use of plasticine to explore the chromatic spectrum, Llinas diverges into a deeper exploration of representation and artistic process. His film features personal conflicts with the artists and philosophical reflections on art, ultimately becoming a self-referential inquiry into his filmmaking and creativity, especially evident in its second, more sincere installment.
Mariano Llinas's three-part portrait of Argentinian art collective Mondongo is a chaotic exploration of colour and representation, blending documentary with existential crisis.
The film begins with Llinas grappling with his own artistic process while documenting Mondongo's project, culminating in both personal and professional conflicts.
