Metade Fumaça

About This Movie

Metade Fumaça is this intriguing mix of drama and romance that delves deep into themes of memory and vengeance. The pacing has this almost languid feel, which mirrors Roy's own struggle with Alzheimer's as he wanders through his past. The performances carry a weight; the dynamic between Roy and Smokey is particularly compelling, almost like a mentor-student relationship turned on its head. It's interesting how the film explores the remnants of a violent past while also focusing on the fragility of the mind. The atmosphere is dense—Brazil’s vibrant landscape contrasts sharply with the somber narrative. It's a unique piece, not just for its story but for its exploration of identity and redemption in the twilight of life.
