The Man of the Crowd / O Homem das Multidões (2013)
Drama
Berlin Film Festival 2014. Loosely based on Edgar Allan Poe’s story of the same name, Marcelo Gomes and Cao Guimarães-two of the most interesting filmmakers working in Brazil today-have crafted an elegant, parsimonious, and formally impeccable story of Juvenal, a lonely train driver in Belo Horizonte, and his encounter with Margo, a station controller. Emphasizing the theme of alienation in Poe’s story (and revealing Guimarães’s work as a visual artist), the two directors opted for an unusual format, a 1:1 aspect ratio, which serves to isolate the characters. Juvenal and Margo, who each embody a different form of urban solitude, have been brought together in this beautifully composed ode to friendship and study of alienation. Music by Gilberto Gil.
Starring: Paulo André, Sílvia Lourenço, Jean-Claude Bernardet
