Enquanto estamos aqui

2019

Documentary, Self: Mary Ghattas, Marcelo Souza e Silva, Grace Passô

Drama. Documentary Two lives cross in New York. Lamis, a Lebanese woman, has just moved to the city and describes her impressions while the Brazilian man, Wilson, has already lived there for 10 years. We never see them on the screen, but their relationship is described in poetic Arabic and Portuguese voice-overs, which contrast starkly with the images, shot in New York, Berlin and Brazil.

	Author	Review
United States	Neil Young The Hollywood Reporter	"A poetic, philosophical, romantic tale told using elliptical images and literary voice-over, 'While We Are Here' (Enquanto estamos aqui) is a delicately crafted Brazilian gem"	POS
United Kingdom	Peter Bradshaw The Guardian	"There is an avant-garde bravery to this international love story – but how can we invest in protagonists we never see? (...) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"	NEG
