🎬 Film-debate—The Sounds of Recife (Kleber Mendonça Filho)
📅 Wednesday, March 25 19:00–22:30
📍 As part of the World Film Festival
Screening followed by an exchange with Gustavo Jahn (actor) and Vinicius Gonçalves Carneiro (ERSO – University of Lille).
In The Sounds of Recife, Kleber Mendonça Filho transforms a "quiet" street of the Brazilian middle class into a real resonance chamber: everyday noises, silences, rumors, tensions... everything becomes a matter of cinema. Both an urban chronic and a social thriller, the film observes how fear, private security, and class relations settle in bodies and buildings—to the point of shaking the apparent balance.
The staging is of a formidable precision, often funny, sometimes disturbing: a falling leaf can rub shoulders with an accident in the distance, and the sound becomes a full-fledged character. Result: a modern, clairvoyant, and absolutely captivating film—considered one of the great contemporary Brazilian films.
To (re)discover, after the screening, the exchange with Gustavo Jahn and Vinicius Gonçalves Carneiro will extend the session: making of the film, place of sound, social and political reading of the narrative... and questions from the audience.
