A real life trajectory in 15 minutes
This short film is one of those rare things you cross the path with, not even knowing about it until someone send it to you. "Eh, Pagu, Eh!" tells in less than 15 minutes the life and work of Patricia Galvão, known as Pagu, a notorious female writer of the 1920's and 1930's, one of the remarkable figures of the Modernism movement of arts, who had her life portrayed in the feature film "Eternamente Pagu" (a more well-known film).
This might work as a great suggestion for directors who want to tell the story of a personality in brief moments and brief minutes, and a nice way of learning something about someone in matters of minutes, but only if you don't like to read books, if your mind gets easily attracted to images instead of lines on a paper or in a computer.
In its short time, several voice-overs narrates about Pagu's life as an artist, a woman ahead of its time with her rebel behavior, joining the Communist party and being the first woman imprisoned for political reasons by the government, and some other facts. The problems with this film: the copy is extremely cheap, you can't barely see or hear a thing, it's very grainy. Resume someone's life is very difficult, and it seemed the film wanted to show more of her political struggle than her writing or his love relationships with famous writer Oswald de Andrade. At last, besides her images on the screen there's actors portraying some moments of her life and some of the narrations showing her feeling about her prison or how she wanted to be remembered, and I wanted to know if this was written for the film or if it was her real letters; this whole thing was unsettled.
Considering the time it was made, the information displayed and some originality for Brazilian standards on films I'll recommend this film if you can find it. 6/10
