Cenários em Ruínas – A Realidade Imaginária Contemporânea
[Scenarios in Ruins – The Contemporary Imaginary Reality]
A portrait of the contemporary condition: being a foreigner in your own country. We live where everything is ‘imagerie’, characters from stories created by films. This pop mythology tends, in a world saturated by the media, to lose its meaning. But it can also help build our identity and our place. Everything narrated through novels and detective films, travel stories and westerns, revived by contemporary cinema – from W. Wenders to J. Jarmush – under the theme of internal exile.
