Tamed

About This Movie

Tamed (2011) is an interesting piece by Paulo Furtado that adapts Ana Vieira's installation, bringing this unique visual art concept into a narrative form. There's a certain introspective quality to the film, almost meditative, as it plays with the idea of domesticity and confinement. The pacing is deliberate, allowing you to really soak in the atmosphere, which is marked by a somewhat oppressive yet fascinating tension. The performances feel very grounded, creating a sense of authenticity amidst the conceptual backdrop. What stands out to me is how it intertwines art with its storytelling, making it a distinctive exploration of an everyday experience turned surreal. A solid film for anyone who appreciates this blend of visual art and cinema.
