other title: 诺瓦利斯的蓝玫瑰 / A Rosa Azul de Novalis
一部像邀请某人到家的电影。在他位于圣保罗的公寓里,在煮咖啡和同性恋勾搭之间,马塞洛的迷恋和渴望被随意地、充满激情地展现出来。马塞洛最亲密的知己似乎是书,尤其是诺瓦利斯未完成的小说《海因里希·冯·奥特丁根》,其主人公寻求一朵难以捉摸的蓝色花朵。马塞洛也在寻找一些东西,追踪他那多事之秋的痕迹。摄像机观察他,全神贯注地捕捉他的故事,直到一个简单的全景拍摄开始重演他的传记中的一章。马塞洛的话只是名义上似乎占据了中心地位,因为他的身体运动实际上透露了更多,他们是记忆的执行水库。马塞洛的公寓因此成为了他人生的舞台——闪闪发光、有趣、有趣、严肃和真诚。导演Vinagre和Carneiro使用的纪录片舞台从平面的独立宇宙中创造出一个完整的多层宇宙。一幅蓝色玫瑰不仅仅是一幅心胸开阔、亲密的肖像,更是一部像蓝色花瓣的电影,同时又温柔又迷人。

Vil, má
other title: 神,魔 / Vil, má
A drawing room with salmon-coloured walls, tapestries, busts, house plants, a dressmaker’s dummy. In a velvet armchair with gold trim sits Wilma Azevedo, 74, Brazil’s “queen of sadomasochistic literature”. She is asked by the director to tell the story of her life, which quickly branches out into a series of detailed erotic anecdotes involving green bananas, dildos made of sandpaper and over-stimulated nerves. In her heyday, she received 300 love letters a month, an incredible success story. Sometimes her memory fails her, at which point the young actress in the background, who is supposed to play her in an upcoming film, comes to her aid. Halfway through the film, which purports to be research, the armchair is reclined slightly and the protagonist then tells another life story, featuring a similarly pornographic narrative, but one that also gives an account of a journalist’s difficult emancipation, navigating the dangerous terrain of male fantasies. In static shots of a moving figure, a still life of passions retold comes into focus.
