Tobacco Shop

About This Movie

Tobacco Shop is a peculiar piece, isn't it? The way São José Correia channels Álvaro de Campos' text really sets the mood. It’s this hauntingly introspective journey that teeters between reality and a dystopian vision. The pacing isn’t hurried; it invites you to linger, to really sink into the words. The atmosphere is thick, almost palpable, drawing you into the contemplation of existence and the act of creation. The practical effects are minimal but they serve the narrative—it's all about the performance and the raw emotion that Correia conveys. There's a distinctiveness in how it embraces the poetic, making you feel the weight of the verses as they unfold. It’s less about a plot and more about an experience, a meditation on time and place.
