Coming off of an Oscar win for his short-animated film The Windshield Wiper, Alberto Mielgo is continuing his exploration of the meaning of love and the many forms it takes in “Jibaro”, his latest addition to the Love Death + Robots anthology.Netflix’s Love Death + Robots is a collection of animated shorts that surround three key subjects: love, death, and robots.
The third season premiered in May of this year, and includes Mielgo’s return to the series after winning an Emmy for his 2019 episode, “The Witness”.“Jibaro” follows the strange but deadly attraction between a siren and a deaf knight who is immune to her supernatural charms.
