Histórias Estranhas

“Stranger Tales“

Brazil |  2017  |  73 minutes  |  Directors: Rodrigo Brandão, Kapel Furman, Taísa Ennes Marques, Paulo Biscaia Filho, Claudio Ellovitch, Filipe Ferreira, Ricardo Ghiorzi and Marcos DeBrito

The arrival of a stranger during a dinner for two in an old dark house. An analyst who may or may not be a grotesque monster. Living dead women out for revenge. An invisible man. A pregnancy caused by Satanic forces. A tarot-fuelled psychedelic fever dream. A serial killer tormented by Biblical delirium.

These are some of the strange imagery that illustrate this elaborate almanac of the Brazilian Fantastique - a compilation of eight morbid tales, directed by the most varied genre filmmakers from all around the country.
