Our take
Delving into an ambiguous side of masculinity and an experimental mode of storytelling, Selton Mellon seduces in this beguiling tale, crafted by Cinema Marginal pioneer Júlio Bressane. Imbued with eroticism and macabre irony, the sequestered bond of two nameless souls tests the limits of obsession.
