“First kill your ego then come with me.” – Rogério Sganzerla
“Hunger, Thirst, Dance.”
COPACABANA MON AMOUR follows Sonia Silk, a sex worker troubled by visions and spirits, who walks around Copacabana dreaming of being a big-time radio singer. The first Brazilian film shot in Cinemascope (or “Stranglescope”, as the film puts it), COPACABANA MON AMOUR points its lens (as if shooting the south of France in the summertime) towards the favelas of Rio where reality crumbles right before your eyes.
From SIGNS OF CHAOS: The Films of Rogerio Sganzerla.
