O Último Azul

Interesting screenplay. Beautiful photography. Funny scenes. Good soundtrack.

A little over artistic and not the best finale...

Rodrigo Santoro - was it a cameo? His participation in the movie is no longer than 20 minutes.

I enjoyed watching it, but expected a little more. Great acting by the Denise Weinberg.

O último azul is lush and low key. Here is a possible vision of the future where personal choices are removed at a certain age.

Tereza has reached that age as the government has a plan to improve productivity by sending all elderly people over the age of 75 to a special colony.

At the start of the film she has one week before compulsory departure.

What will she do? What would we all do?

Turns out she does have a special thing on her bucket list. Travel is blocked so she needs to find a way. That way turns out to be the blue trail of the title.

The Blue Trail is a gentle satire that allows the story to unfold rather than being force-fed to us.

We are all getting older and it is not too far fetched to think that something like this could happen.
