Luz Industrial Mágica, Kleber Mendonça Filho, Brasil, 2009, 6’
Crítico, Kleber Mendonça Filho, Brasil, 2008, 80’
The documentary debut feature by acclaimed Brazilian filmmaker Kleber Mendonça Filho (O som ao redor, Bacurau) , explores the troubled relationship between filmmakers and critics through a personal series of interviews recorded over a period of eight years between 1998 and 2007. Featuring 70 filmmakers and critics, including major international figures such as David Lynch, Fernando Meirelles, Eduardo Coutinho, and Aki Kaurismaki, Crítico opens a much-needed window to an art which is increasingly judged by industry standards and which struggles to remain human in the way it is realized and observed.
