Same Old West, dir. Erico Rassi (Brazil) 2023, 98’, 16+

An enthralling and visually stunning western set amongst the isolated backlands of Brazil. It is here where men feel the need to display their masculinity and are incapable of coping with their own frailties-which seems to always lead to them being abandoned by the women they love. But, something is brewing…percolating. And soon, this simmer is going to become a boiling pot, as the men begin to turn against each other, with fiery results.
The winner of 3 awards at Gramado FF. Polish premiere.
