剧情介绍
巴西的军事独裁被推翻之后的三十余年之间，一位老人仍旧在等待他1970年就已失去联系的大儿子-他曾是一名社会活动家。他的二儿子则一直陪在他身边，实际上，自从他婚姻破裂后，他就带着一箱旧唱片以及家庭旧照搬回来跟父亲同住了。但那个没有回来的兄长、儿子就像盘旋在这个家庭之上的幽灵……正因为如此，影片《Avanti Popolo》在主流电影节上受到影评人的一致好评。片中父亲的角色由巴西演员Carlos Reichenbach扮演。
After separating from his wife, André goes back to live with his father. The reunion reveals a difficult and distant relationship, due to the disappearance of the other son thirty years ago during the Brazilian military dictatorship. The father lives a life of reclusion and longing, emotionally tied to his dog. He spends his days playing with a dog who is more interested in what is happening outside than his master. Hoping to get closer to his father, André brings up some old Super-8mm film rolls, shot by his brother before his disappearance. These old images appear repeatedly in AVANTI POPOLO, sharing with the spectator the history of the family and the brother, physically absent but present throughout the film.
看的版本是內嵌西班牙文字幕。劇情比較鬆散，手法略為實驗，而且有私人化和主觀化的傾向。片頭的黑夜遊車河和8mm映像的大量使用挺有趣味。老父親家裡的裝潢殘舊而精緻。那個面對著沙發的機位多少有點鬼魅的感覺。直到演職表滾動到後半段，音樂盒里的《國際歌》也響了起來。
