The last three… movies

Os três últimos filmes

City Island (dir. Raymond De Felitta, 2009)

A nice and unpretentious comedy about a family living on a small island in the Bronx, whose patriarch, played by Andy Garcia, dreams of becoming an actor. With a young – and still unknown – Ezra MillerWatch the trailer.

Caesar Must Die (Cesare deve morire, dir. Paolo e Vittorio Taviani, 2012)

Inmates at a high-security prison in Rome prepare for a public performance of Shakespeare‘s “Julius Caesar”. It’s beautiful and moving (I cried my eyes out) to realize that topics such as power, treachery and freedom are as present in Shakespeare‘s tragedy – written in the 16th century – as in the lives of these prisoners today. A must see. Watch the trailer.

Minha Mãe é uma Peça (dir. Andre Pellenz, 2013)

Film version of a hit play here in Brazil, the movie follows the misadventures of a middle-aged, retired mother of three whose biggest concern are her kids. The main character is played by a man, the comedian Paulo Gustavo. Watch the trailer.

Drink of the day: Blackberry and Sage Spritzers

Blackberry and Sage SpritzersBlackberry and Sage Spritzers

I don’t know if it tastes any good, but isn’t this drink the most beautiful thing you’ve ever seen? And I’m super curious about that sage-blackberry combination. You can leave out the gin if you don’t drink alcohol or replace the soda water with tonic water for a bit more sweetness.

I really like Deedee Cheriel‘s work; her characters seem to have come from a Bosch painting.

And I also love this poster she made for a Kings of Convenience concert here in Rio de Janeiro last year.
