In Memoriam, directed by the very promising young director Gustavo Dourado and Thiago Campelo is a poetic movie, maybe a little difficult to follow but with much beauty in its poetry.
As the title says, the movie is about death, memory and nostalgia. It starts with the death of a filmmaker called Lucas Benevides, who won the first Oscar award to Brazil. Some characters act with sorrow when they hear that news, in the radio station. Along the movie other character dies and more people feel pity and think about the inexorable truth that everyone has to die.
But life is cyclical and every day a lot of people die, however a bunch of childen are born. This idea traverses the whole movie.
Actors are stupendous, the cinematography is spetacular and all technical details are perfect, something rare in brazilian short movies.
