REVIEW: Seashore
Set on the wintry coast of southern Brazil, this is a slow-moving and poignant story about two school friends.
Martin (Mateus Almada) has been sent by his father to the beach-side town where Martin’s grandfather has recently passed away. Tomaz (Mauricio Barcellos) goes with him for company.
Alone together, secrets are shared and boundaries are tested.
Written and directed by Filipe Matzembacher and Marcio Reolon, this is a subtle approach to story-telling – allowing the characters to gradually reveal themselves and their narrative.
Heavy use of hand-held camera-work gives the scenes an immediacy and intimacy, lingering across the features of a face or the imperfections on skin.
Adolescence is confusing time, and Seashore embraces that with a very contemporary sensibility.
An intriguing glimpse into the not-so-sunny side of life in Brazil.
Seashore is distributed by Wolfe entertainment.
