Having grown up in Brazil in the 70s, I thought the cinematography of "The Secret Agent" absolutely nailed the aesthetics of that era.

- forinti 7mo agoKleber Mendonça Filho's other films are great at analysing modern Brazil.
- bugglebeetle 7mo agoBacurau is one of the best movies I’ve seen in recent memory and Pictures of Ghosts tells an amazing story about the history of Recife’s relationship to cinema.
- padjo 7mo agoBacurau was quite a trip. I left that one pleasingly befuddled.
- aeciorc 7mo agoNeighboring Sounds is my favourite. It's the only movie I've ever watched that captures the psychology of living in a violent city: the mental load of constantly being in fear that something might happen to you, likely not today, but probably someday.
- matheusmoreira 7mo agoI liked Bacurau. The villains were a little stupid though. At some point after the brazilians mounted an armed resistance the americans basically gave up and started killing each other instead for no reason. Still an extremely subversive film for modern Brazil which is dominated by a brand of leftism that wants to disarm the population. Without weapons, the americans would have genocided Bacurau and literally wiped it off the map.

- JoeJonathan 7mo agoWas this written by a person or an AI agent?
- VenturingVole 7mo agoIt's a very badly made AI agent that simultaneously posted 3 comments.
- Mobius01 7mo agoI grew up in the 80s/90s further south, and still the film was very much a high fidelity memory playing on-screen. The production design will never be fully appreciated by people that didn’t live that time, it was truly special.
