THE LAST TIME I SAW MACAO
João Rui Guerra da Mata, João Pedro Rodrigues Portugal, 2012
Evocatively remixing the essay film as a thriller, Portuguese auteurs João Pedro Rodrigues & João Rui Guerra da Mata honor the gambling capital of the world with this oneiric trip. Macao is expressed here as if it were inside of a hazy, unforgettable dream reckoning with the shadow of colonialism.
