João Falcão’s Typical Vibe
2 films — brisk, wistful, moderate, clear, playful
The lively João Grilo and the sly Chicó are poor guys living in the hinterland who cheat a bunch of people in a small town in Northeastern Brazil. When they die, they have to be judged by Christ, the Devil and the Virgin Mary before they are admitted to paradise.
Dir. Guel Arraes · With Matheus Nachtergaele, Selton Mello, Fernanda Montenegro
After 20 years missing, João Grilo returns to Taperoá to join his old friend Chicó and, after his story of resurrection spreads, he is disputed as an electoral candidate by the two most powerful politicians in the city.
Dir. Flávia Lacerda, Guel Arraes · With Matheus Nachtergaele, Selton Mello, Taís Araújo
