Sol Alegria (2018)
7/10
Funny, Hallucinating, Subversive.
28 November 2019
Blending Avant-Garde, absurdist humor, political commentary and surrealism, director Tavinho Teixeira's hallucinating road movie introduces a very dysfunctional family as representations of an anarchist society battling the system, the counterculture. In a current disturbingly apocalyptic era, they steal from corrupt pastors, and join a rebel gang of armed nuns in a secured remote area, where they plan strategies for a war, while experiencing drugs, orgies, fetishes, cleansing and connections to the unknown. Filled with sharp dialogue addressing political, social and sexual taboos, it's a madly inventive, explicit, subversive and extravagant comedy about an out-of-control land of power, sex liberation, corruption and fanaticism.
