Water Bearer Films will release the magical realism-flavored Brazilian film The Famous and The Dead on DVD on May 31.
Things get hazy for Henrique Larré in The Famous and The Dead.
Directed and co-written by Esmir Filho, the 2009 movie focuses on a 16-year-old Bob Dylan fan (Henrique Larré), known only by his online handle Mr. Tambourine Man, who lives with his mother in the remote countryside of Southern Brazil. Devastated by the loss of his father and trapped in a village he dubs “the hole in the world,” his only contact to the outside world is via the internet. The arrival of two mysterious figures, the spirit guide Jingle Jangle (Ismael Caneppele) and her companion Julian (Tuane Eggers), ignites both a fear and a fascination that draws him into their seductive, dreamy nether world.
Presented in Portuguese with English subtitles, The Famous and The Dead played a host of international...

[Editor's note: So begins our Locarno coverage. Surprised? We're making moves in Europe, lots more to come!]
After a couple of rather disappointing films I wasn’t expecting much, but “Os Famosos E Os Duendes Da Morte” was the first truly impressive work of this year’s international competition of the Locarno Film festival! It features many mysterious elements, dreams and visions that appear almost Lynchesque, but it never gets supernatural.

And it definitely is a vivid and strong example for young Brazilian film making all along the line!
