João César Monteiro è una garanzia.
buona (Esperanza) visione - Ismaele
one of those films that one is afraid to over-recommend
simply because of how small it feels and how easy it is to think of it as
minor. and yet, it checks too many of my boxes for me to be able to avoid
falling in love with this. set over a short duration of just two nights, it's
the ultimate hangout movie in a way but between characters that are somewhat
impenetrable. a series of dance scenes, each illuminating something about these
characters and the changes they undergo over these two nights. impossibly
moving in parts and a really gorgeous love story but also horribly dark in
others. any commentary on Portuguese history and politics is mostly lost on me
sadly but even without that, it feels really crucial to understanding
monteiro's pov both visually and thematically. one of those films that one
feels protective towards because it feels like magic that it even exists and
ends up being as great as it is. all the love.
