Transe (2022)

Portrait of an era

A film made in the heat of the 2018 presidential election in Brazil, which would split the country by electing a far-right leader who, four years later, would attempt a coup against Brazilian democracy. The anguish of what was to come is narrated through young people searching for answers -- and often, even searching for the right questions to ask. TRANSE echoes great masters and visionaries like Bertolucci, Godard, Truffaut & Caetano Veloso, encapsulating the political and inhuman horror of the current era. By brilliantly portraying the disillusionment of a nation, it reveals itself an exceptional movie to be studied and revisited for many decades to come.
