As I said many times before, I firmly believe future of Cinema is in Latin America. I wrote this piece when Bolsonaro was still in charge and Lula was jailed in Brazil in the Spring of 2020 after watching a couple of searing new Brazilian films.

It's 2027 Brazil. The country has gone full Christian fundamentalist. Gabriel Mascaro's version of it is all neon and electronic music. Our protags belong to #Divino Amor, a Christian religious group exclusively for couples. It's a government mandated support group for couples who’s been having marriage troubles. It definitely has cultish air. Mascaro takes on sci-fi genre to satirize the current political climate of Brazil. #gabrielmascaro #braziliancinema #bolsonaro #fascism #scifi
