Invisible City (Cidade Invisível) is a series directed by Júlia Pacheco Jordão and Luis Carone. It stars Marco Pigossi, Alessandra Negrini and Jéssica Córes.
The Invisible City is a very original fantasy and thriller series that knows how to swim wonderfully between the waters of the spiritual and criminal worlds, between the supernatural and the detective genre, and it also has an original aesthetic proposal.
About the Series
A murder thriller that gets lost in local legends, in the world of spirits and magic, and then presents us with a message of environmental conservation.
Very entertaining, well handled and accomplished visual effects (CGI), achieving an attractive series on several levels and one that knows how to continue the successes of the first season in these five new episodes.
It handles the photography very well, and – without losing the fantastic “touch” – knows how to give us a good, entertaining thriller so...

2 Rabbits is the kind of film that’s spawned from an obsession with fragmented criminal thrillers akin to Pulp Fiction, The Boondock Saints, Snatch, so on, and so forth. But these movies are either masterfully crafted or luckily hyped, and while Afonso Poyart commands style, his storytelling can’t quite pull off the chaotic abandon of such unwieldy voices. As you can tell from the image above, expect the unexpected from Poyart’s mind, yet the barrage of visual obscurity becomes overbearing as his screenplay refuses to stop shifting. No one is who they seem, and no character is insignificant – but with so many moving parts, it’s hard to keep them all working fluidly.
While a host of characters make an appearance, the linchpin to it all is a slacker named Edgar (Fernando Alves Pinto). His plan, in its simplest form, is to bring justice back to Brazil, while...

Paolo here back with...wait, there are more movies after the awards were announced? Yes, but before we get to that, I was unfortunately reminded by Amir that I saw Love and Bruises. It's a movie about a Chinese woman in Paris named Hua who studies the women's rights movements but hangs around with rapists outside of campus. One of these, Mathieu (Tahar Rahim, who needs to work with better directors), is the jealous possessive type but lets her alone with his skeezy best friend. Cheery stuff.

Cleopatra
Venice Film FestivalVENICE, Italy -- Cleopatra has been filmed earlier, and one that remains etched in memory is the 1963 version where Elizabeth Taylor immortalized the Queen of Egypt. That movie made history for all the wrong reasons: 20th Century Fox went bankrupt, Taylor fell seriously ill and had to be rushed to hospital, and later she began an affair with Richard Burton that caused a scandal and outraged moralists. Yet, there is no denying that it was this Cleopatra, helmed by Joseph Mankiewicz, which still sparkles, and Taylor remains as enigmatic as the Egyptian Queen herself.
So Brazilian director Julio Bressane's decision to recreate an equally mysterious Cleopatra could not have been easy. But as he says he had one great plus point to begin with. It would be the first time that Cleopatra would be made in Portuguese. Bressane's Cleopatra, screened at the Venice Film Festival, does not disappoint, at least not totally, though it is nowhere as impressive as the one made famous by Taylor, Burton and Rex Harrison. Undoubtedly Bressane' scoring point is the movie's eroticism, which may appeal to nondiscerning audiences in the commercial circuit.
Cleopatra opens with the shot of Pompey's decapitated head, the only gruesome scene in the entire film, which continues to tell the story of the Queen (Alessandra Negrini), concentrating mostly on her relationship with Julius Caesar (Miguel Falabella). Mark Anthony's (Bruno Garcia) scenes are not many, and come towards the end. Obviously, Bressane's interest lies elsewhere.
He uses lyrics to convey Cleopatra's struggles to stay in control of the Ptolemaic Dynasty that Alexander founded 300 years earlier and whose riches are coveted by the bankrupt Romans.
In Bressane's version, the language constructs the image, and he uses poetry to create the imagery. And as the helmer said, the strength of the Portuguese language is its lyricism. This, in effect, becomes the movie's high point, and the legend of Cleopatra unfolds through the nuances of Portuguese literature, music and culture. Negrini's erotic movements, some times in dance like motions, have been splendidly choreographed to Guilherme Vaz' score. The tale of love and war, of hope and regret and of joy and angst comes through almost in a mellifluous manner
However, Cleopatra is all theater and little cinema. It could well be a ballet with a camera capturing it all, and the drama happens mostly indoors, except for one brilliant scene by the seaside.
