The Edge of Democracy (2019)
Another great work by Petra Costa
21 June 2019 - 272 out of 569 users found this review helpful.
Petra Costa is perhaps the best documentary director in Brazil. Her debut is the masterpiece Elena, a very personal look to her sister. The Edge of the Democracy, her third feature, is another kind a monster. A political one, to be exat, in which she narrates the oddly "democratic" impeachment of president Dilma Roussef.
Costa's talent is to make simple footage (either from stock and original shots) into sheer cinematic strenght. A rare gift, I might add.

1964: O Brasil Entre Armas e Livros (2019)
The Brazilian 'Triumph of the Will'?

Imagine a documentary that praises a dictatorship and tries to sell to the audience an idea that a coup d'etat was benefectful. Looks like a Nazi German piece of propaganda? Surprise, surprise: is a Brazilian film recently released on YouTube. Shameless historical revisionism.
