His Name The Clown

They met in the summer in the rain A film of carnival and silence His Name The Clown is a surface film based on newspaper news and daily life in large Brazilian cities but without any direct link to any real event Violence joy and silence are worked on in the film in order to build a space where characters are as real as they are intangible in a narrative of short marked sequences in which a whirlwind of events mixes with a stitching of fragments and gaps He is a quiet man and divides his time between his violent work in downtown Rio de Janeiro and his boarding house in Catumbi She is the girl who appears in his life on a rainy afternoon and soon things start to go by very quickly A film of carnival and silence of love and anger of apathy and will A chronicle of the conflicts and festivities of a city sewn between hills forests and cement A tribute to Rio perhaps
