Bones, The

[Plays Dec. 10 free on MUBI.] Cristóbal León and Joaquín Cociña's imaginative, critically acclaimed, creative, black-and-white, unusual, confusing, timely, 14-minute, stop-motion, animated political film that is allegedly the first animated film made in 1901 and found in 2021 in which bones are uncovered and then a young indigenous Chilean woman acts like a marionette in a ritual to manipulate the human bones into mummified, Frankenstein-type corpses and invokes the spirits of supposedly secretaries of state Diego Portales and Jaime Guzmán in Chile in an attempt to rewrite Chilean history.
