From Lesbian Rockstars to Oscar Contenders: 5 Must-See Movies at Brazilian Film Festival of Miami
The movies at the 19th edition of the Brazilian Film Festival of Miami (BRAFF) have got it all: a fleeting love story in a mental hospital (Good Luck), a conversation with master documentarian Eduardo Coutinho (Last Conversations), a badass lesbian rockstar (Cassie Eller), a seductive prank caller (Gorilla), plus a little bit of sports, music, war, and of course, Carnaval! This variety shouldn’t be surprising, since Brazil remains as a powerhouse in Latin American cinema.
The festival opens September 12 with a free screening of Trinta, carnival legend Joãosinho Trinta’s biopic, and it closes September 19 with The Second Mother, Brazil’s official Oscar submission for Best Foreign Language Film. Excited? So are we. To prove it, here are Remezcla’s top five picks for BRAFF Miami.
The Brazilian Film Festival of Miami runs September 12 – 19, 2015.
