To me, this is the film other people must have seen when they saw "Parasite."
Sure we visit a foreign land, with all too familiar takes on haves and have-nots. That said there are distinctly Brazilian flavors here, which I'm sure I didn't catch, but added to sense of insecurity.
My introduction to Kleber Mendonça Filho went so well, I pretty much ran through his catalogue in a week. I like how his films don't necessarily lay out all the plot tiles in a tidy row. He works in dream sequences better than most (and the sounds accompanying that scene in particular were perfectly haunting.). An odd homage to John Carpenter here, but it made more sense when I watched his most recent film.
Family and society dynamics laid out, but not in such heavy handed (hello "Parasite") fashion. A spin on who watches the watchmen as well.
Anyways, more people should watch KMF imho.
