I came across this article this evening. It explains that after long complicated problems over distribution the makers of the 2012 stop-motion animation feature film 'O Apostolo' have finally decided to make it available free in high-resolution on YouTube.

A great Gothic tale. Interesting and clever. Not sure at what audience it is aimed. A bit disjointed, and I thought it could do with some editing in the first half. The second half was better. Poor old Archbishop of Santiago. "The path to enlightenment is self denial" (but not his!). Fabulous music.

@Bradypus, thank you for posting this link and info. I have been trying, in vain, to view 'O Apostolo' for years. It is a pleasant surprise to see that it has been made available now and not only with subtitles in English but also with subtitles in a number of other languages.
