Lucas Camargo
How could we forget the razor-sharp writing of O pequeno mal (FID 2018), directed with Nicolas Thomé Zetune, which explored the secret shortcomings of a relationship. The same virtues are at play in this electrifying film. In 1911, in Olaias, now a neighbourhood in Lisbon, the Portuguese Republic established itself and imposed the secularisation of the State. Meanwhile, a woman, known by the name of A. Brasileira, the Brazilian, works miracles and her persecution becomes ever more urgent. However, from one shot to the next there is magic at work here, short-circuiting the centuries. Playing freely with colours and settings, Lucas Camargo de Barros offers us a fable of repression and its potential escape routes, in the form of a homage to silent film.
