The colonial past is ingrained in everyone's faces - former booming slave trading post, also inhabited by pirates & used as a penal colony only to be abandoned after 19th century. Elliptical narrative has no stronghold in this but the glorious nighttime cinematography & the beauty of volcanic surroundings make up for its lyrical poetry. You can totally see Costa’s later impressionistic approach to filmmaking brewing in the midst of Casa de Lava.
