A Portrait of Recife's Transformations
31 August 2023
"Ghost Portraits" masterfully captures the essence of Recife, delving into the realm of nostalgia and melancholy induced by the inevitable tide of change that the city is going through. Through the lens of an autobiographical perspective, filmmaker Kleber Mendonça Filho becomes a true poet, weaving a tapestry of emotions that resonate deeply. With his skill as a director, Kleber creates a narration about the transformation that cities undergo, leaving behind much history of the past. "Ghost Portraits" is a testament to Kleber's multifaceted artistry, a stunning cinematic achievement that leaves an indelible mark. Beautiful movie.
