Kleber Mendonça Filho followed his legendary Bacurau with a lower-key representation on his individual cinematic life. A hit finally year’s Cannes Movie Event, Pictures of Ghosts distills a life time of the Brazilian’s cinephilia via historical docudrama, secret, movie clips, and individual memories to resuscitate midtown Recife’s timeless flick royal residences from the 20th century, several of which are mainly gone. Ahead of Insect Movie’s January 26 launch, there’s a brand-new trailer.
As David Katz claimed in his testimonial, “If the death of cinema is imminent, at least Kleber Mendonça Filho can play it out with some vintage Tropicália. It’s becoming a nice leitmotif of the Brazilian director’s career, whose ultraviolent Bacurau curtain-raised with Gal Costa’s ‘Não Identificado,’ and latest effort Pictures of Ghosts, which premiered as a Special Screening at Cannes, eases in with Tom Zé’s deceptively jaunty ‘Happy End.’ This is a first-person, arguably selfish movie––in that associated genre, the docu-essay––where Mendonça Filho seems to be waving a teary-eyed goodbye to valuable associations and possessions, perhaps only those of individual sentimental resonance. Yet it’s ‘selfish’ in a productive manner, almost as a function of self-care, like a sunny afternoon lounging on the settee revisiting one’s favorite LPs.”
