The Devil Queen 1974
Watched it on 35mm, on the big screen, with a bonus Q&A with director Antonio Carlos da Fontoura.
49 years after it’s release, I found the perfect way to experience this beast from Brazilian 70’s cinema scene. So raw, so embracing of it’s surroundings, and so damn brave!
I Take my hat off to Milton Gonçalves ( a giant !! ),
Odete Lara, a brilliant natural talent, with the magnetism of Gena Rowlands or Barbara Loden, who dominates the screen and… -

The first thing you gotta understand before going into Marighella (2019) is that when we talk about Brazilian cinema, we will be talking about portraying violence, the same applies to any political historic conversation regarding… -
The Batman 2022
Best take on the Batman.
Matt Reeves gets it.
From all of the impeccable aspects that compose The Batman, and when i say that i mean the Screenplay, the directing, the cinematography, the thrilling score, the spot on performances, but what i really think made this experience perfect, and that’s what Reeves should really be proud for, the film’s tone. The Batman (2021) knows what it is.
I love how personal it feels, the voice over was a nice touch.…
