Limites do Diáfano

About This Movie

So, 'Limites do Diáfano' is one of those intriguing documentaries that pulls you into the past, specifically the Brazilian military dictatorship era. The film compiles Jorge Bodanzky's Super-8 footage, capturing everyday life and personal reflections. It’s raw, unrefined, and that’s what gives it its charm. The amateur quality of the material adds an intimate layer, makes you feel like you're peering through a window into a tumultuous time. You see his thematic obsessions unfold – it’s not just about storytelling; it’s about experimenting with the medium itself. The pacing feels almost dreamlike, which, I think, complements the fragmented nature of memory and history. If you appreciate films that challenge conventional storytelling, this one’s definitely worth exploring.
