“In my films the actors contribute with a new style of interpretation , of disincorporation, a new technique of reinvention” - Rogério Sganzerla
“You have to sin twice for the planet not to turn upside down!”
A radical masterwork composed of unrehearsed long takes and destructive spontaneity told through a loose-narrative which follows “a banker, who lives dangerously”. It is a work of great intensity depicting beauty as vulgar and performance as self-possessed and Brechtian. Emblematic of the cinematic instability inherent to Sganzerla’s cinema, SEM ESSA, ARANHA unleashes a freer and more open perspective of space, body and language.
