Harmonica’s Howl
In this experimental, sun and music-soaked story of a love triangle between Antônia, Pedro and Luana, the heroes are young and infatuated with love and each other. Director Bruno Safadi uses unusual contrasts to tell their story: long takes, a lively soundtrack, murky symbolism and emotional ostentatiousness, night and day. A forthright and complete image of youthful passion tangled somewhere between fascination and rejection emerges from this kaleidoscope of experiences.
