Aquarius
A beautiful movie to end the day, after that early one I really needed.
My review of Aquarius will be simple and short, at least I think, I ain't in the mood to get that emotional. One thing I will say is that this movie talks with me in so many different ways.
"Vocês são muito filhos da puta"
This movie is brilliant, it talks a lot about everything, literally everything, to aging, hair, money, rich people, love, family, disease, everything you can think of. And it's a movie that as I mentioned earlier talks with me a lot, the person I most admired in my entire life was my grandma, which is strong and brave just like Clara, and that and many other reasons this movie sounds and looks like was made for me, and I love that feeling.
Sônia Braga is such an icon here and all over the world, and this might be her best role (that I've seen) she is Clara, never seen something like that- If someone showed to me how is Sônia Braga's routine I wouldn't belive, to me she will always be that crazy and brave grandma that will never belive in others than herself.
Now this has an especial place in my heart, and I know this for a fact (this a phrase my dad always use), everything here touched me in so many ways, every scene is emotinal to me. The soundtrack is absolutely perfect, Clara and Queens work together just like rice and beans.
I'm begging everybody that is reading this review, if you are brazilian or not watch this movie. Just watch it.
Now I want to talk about this amazing director Kleber Mendonça Filho that did a personal movie that talks with every brazilian that I know, not only brazilians everybody in the world that loves some good cinema and performance. A director that made an iconic character, Clara that will be in my dreams fighting with me because I didn't showed her the picture of my girlfriend. I really need to watch all of his movies, Bacurau and Aquaris are both obras de arte (master pieces) and both make me feel something different. Thanks for that, this movies will stay with me for a long time.
I love Recife so much.
edit: It wasn't a short review after all, loved to write about this movie, its like 3:00 am here and I am totally happy with my improvement (I mean my writing skills, I have a lot to learn I know). What an especial movie.
I will leave the link to the soundtrack here. Perfection.
I love that Barry Lyndon poster.
