Brazil | Directed by Gregorio Graziosi
When a complacent young architect in São Paolo discovers a burial ground at the site of his first construction project, he must reckon with hidden secrets that make him question the very foundation of his heritage. An entrancing meditation on urban alienation and repressed national memory filmed in stark, exquisitely composed black-andwhite, Obra is a haunting portrait of contemporary Brazil in flux. Portuguese, English with subtitles. 80 min.
