'Love is the Monster' Courtesy of Expansiva Cine “Love Is the Monster” (“El amor es el monstro”), a tropical dystopia thriller from Neto Villalobos whose “All About the Feathers” and “Helmet Heads” both premiered at Toronto, has been boarded by Mexico’s Liminal Estudio, creating an impressive five-way co-production stretching from Mexico through Costa Rica, Panama to Peru and Chile.
Headed by Paulina García, the Berlin Silver Bear actress award winner for “Gloria” from Oscar-winner Sebastián Lelio, “Love Is the Monster” figures as a potential highlight at the IFF Panama’s Primera Mirada, a pix-in-post showcase, which unspools over April 10-11.
