T's that simple: I just saw the "Queen" here on youtube. And it is, quite clearly, the film that moved me the most of the ones I have seen in a long time. It moved, above all, for being very, very, very good cinema. All right, all better than right, perfect balance (made of alternating imbalance) between rigor and freedom, raw truth and dream artifice, cutaneous proximity and distant, respectful observation. Very rare, all of this. Very, very rare in Brazilian film, which needs (I think) exactly that. Intensely Brazilian, the film, on the other hand. It could only be Brazilian, it could only be yours. I'm spread out on the floor, "sprawled", as Dalva de Oliveira would say... Only at the end, in the generic, I saw that these unbelievable images are from Julia Zakia. Incredible, her harmony with the vision of filmmaker Sabrina Fidalgo, the universe of the "Queen", the universe inside her, the universe that is hostile to her, everything. And now I'm going to try to wake up from the blow I took from that "Queen".
