“There's an acknowledgement of how love and even family doesn't always provide enough context for some people to live in the world, and how that ultimate sense of futility doesn't necessarily limit one's ability to make connections.” — really well-said letterboxd reviewer (here). Quote that will continue to ring in my head.
I caught FUTURO BEACH because I realized it was leaving MUBI Malaysia and was directed by Karim Aïnouz whose recent film MOTEL DESTINO I really enjoyed. FUTURO BEACH is bookended by superbikes and tackles a complex Wagner Moura in the middle. Stylistically, I think both films are similar (yay) as Brazil is bright, wet and soaked in so much color. Each frame here is absolutely devastating and my favorite is the train scene, when Donato last minute decides not to exit — ruined me.
Absolutely chuffed because Karim’s next film is based of Marco Bellochio’s debut film. I just watched my first Bellochio film, THE TRAITOR a few days ago. Love to see cinematic universes collide.
