Desequilíbrio, a 2004 drama that weaves the lives of a tightrope walker and a sex worker against the backdrop of São Paulo, is pretty intriguing. It captures a certain rawness, with a gritty atmosphere that feels almost palpable. The film explores themes of longing, survival, and the fragility of dreams, all while the city looms large, almost like a character itself. The pacing is deliberate, letting moments linger in a way that feels both uncomfortable and beautiful. Performances are understated yet impactful, giving life to these asymmetrical characters. What stands out is its use of practical effects; there's something haunting about the way the tightrope walking is portrayed, blurring the lines between reality and art. A unique piece for sure.
