Viventes

Vivwntes is a Brazilian short film shot in Niterói, neighbour town of Rio de Janeiro. The film is hard to define, vut perhaps the definition as a social political surrealism with elements of fantastic comedy horror fits it well. There are three connected stories of people in vulnerable social and labour situations. There are funny moments, great surprises, innovative elements, and an important social critique. The fact that sometimes it is supernatural, and other times it is oneiric, did not work so well in my opinion, despite all three being good segments. I also missed a stronger link than the presence of the unemployed boy. The movie is nice, anyway.
