ROMÂNTICOS DA IDADE MÍDIA

2009, director: Francisco Carlos 

in Travels in Hyperreality, Umberto Eco, goes from  classic to pop, mixing Shakespeare, Baudelaire, Goethe, Guattari, Nietzsche, Baudrillard and Ridley Scott.

 

On the plot, the nun Adele Fatal opens a massage parlor downtown, far from being catholic, after experiencing a rather strange episode at the convent. Corsets and other sadomasochistic adornments share the space with mystic rituals. In and out of the place will be the likes of Miss Blair, the adoptive daughter made prostitute by Adele, the teenager Ângelo, a reverend, an outspoken punk, a TV reporter and a gravedigger off of Hamlet.

Cast: Gustavo Machado, Maria Manoela, Guta Ruiz, Sergio Guizé, Hercules Morais, Mariah Teixeira.
