Ângelo Anda Sumido

"Ângelo Anda Sumido" ("Angelo Has Vanished") presents a dark humored story about two friends dealing with a greal deal of trouble while just trying to gather up and have some dinner. José (Sérgio Lulkin) remembers the events about the disappearance of his new friend Ângelo (Antônio Carlos Falcão).

It all begins when José takes the bus to visit the other guy in his apartment of which he doesn't know the exact number and it causes a great deal of trouble since he wakes Ângelo's neighbors, gets trapped in a cage of the place's entrance, has the police called on him when people think he's a junkie or a robber until Ângelo finally comes out. Another series of random and crazy events takes place - like when Ângelo throws his key from the apartment's balcony and makes José use several keys in order to get in the building and get the other man out (weird as hell. Amusing to some, quite annoying to me). And then comes their walk to the restaurant which goes bad and both men part ways.

Furtado's short is a little fun, quite dark and with some realistic tones - specially when José recounts moments from his journey where he tries to enter Ângelo's building and he has to depend on certain traits to look good to strangers, thinking that in alternate realities he'd be arrested or confused with a thug). It doesn't solve any situation, it just end there with a missing guy and no conclusion formed about why this particular story is important. I haven't felt that and it's an almost bad situation since Furtado knows to compose great stories both on short and features. The acting is good despite the unknown names and along with some of the situations presented I enjoyed this movie. 7/10.
