Novo Rio

About This Movie

Novo Rio offers a deeply personal journey through memory and identity, capturing the essence of Lorran Dias as she navigates her roots in Ceará. The film's pacing is deliberately reflective, allowing viewers to dwell on the emotional weight of leaving behind life in Favela da Maré for a homeland that’s both familiar and foreign. Tania Dias' use of photography as a narrative device adds texture, creating a poignant visual dialogue that complements the storytelling. Although the director remains unnamed, the film's intimate atmosphere resonates with anyone who has grappled with the complexities of home and belonging.

Novo Rio has limited availability on the collector's market, with few physical releases making it a rare find for those interested in contemporary Brazilian cinema. Its unique narrative and emotional depth have captured the attention of niche collectors, especially those focused on films that explore personal and cultural identity. As the film gains recognition, it may see an uptick in interest among collectors looking for meaningful cinematic experiences.
