Temporada is nothing less than a beautiful work of art. I can see some resonations with O Céu de Suely, but this is it's own story. With it's own merits. This mild budget drama is so full of heart and thoughtfulness it makes me want to be a filmmaker too, and it throws me back to the days of my own past, as I used to live in a similar low-middle class suburban like the one this movie takes place. But it's deeply brazilian by it's essence more than it's setting, and this makes me so happy. The camera work, the lighting and such other technical aspects hides (or explicitly defines) this movie's reach. Compensating in long pauses, slow pace, clever shots, dragged out takes with a full-on conversation soaked in authentic script and dialogue. All of it just works and I was imerse in it all the way in. I think, in the middle, the story just takes a dive that took me right out of it and made me think if said part was even, let's say, necessary. Good writing, good cinematography and acting, perfect soundtrack... I don't know what else to say about it other than I really, really liked it.
