Pressed, Ripped Apart (2019)
What does Brazilian cinema tell us? What does Brazilian cinema tell us about black actresses and actors? ‘Pressed, Ripped Apart’ makes use of archival sources to retrieve the trajectory of black actresses and actors who, between absences and delimited presences, between the fallacy of a racial democracy – based on the harmony among Brazil’s diverse identities – and erasure of identity, strain the history of Brazilian audiovisual and above all, our own history.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.
