It’s the tenth edition of the traditional curated selection for movie lovers
By Fabio Rubira
The new free exhibition at Cinema da USP (Cinusp), running from March 20th to April 8th, features 14 breathtaking films.
They are cinematic classics, epic stories of unforgettable characters and frightening experiences from horror movies.
Among the highlights is Idi i smotri (1985), by Elem Klimov, about the horrors caused by the Nazi army in the Second World War. And also Vertigo (1958), by the master of suspense Alfred Hitchcock.
Jordan Peele’s Nope (2022) mixes science fiction with horror. Another horror that uses suspense is Possession (1981), by Andrzej Źulawski, about a woman who starts acting strangely.
Amores Perros (2000), by Mexican director Alejandro Iñárritu, tells the almost absurd stories of three different characters. It has fast editing and a frenetic pace.
In “Goodfellas” (1990), Martin Scorsese treats mafia crime as a spectacle. Bob Fosse’s “All That Jazz” (1990) focuses on the glamor of show biz on the Broadway stage.
The national film Eles não usam black-tie (1981), by Leon Hirszman, discusses the trade union movement and strikes as a means of winning labor rights.
