I’m going to try something different at this place. Every week I'm going to take 3-6 movies I've seen and do some writing about them. These won't be full-on reviews, but they won't be the capsules I do on Letterboxd either.  I can’t promise I will write 2000 words every week, I got too enthusiastic this time, but I hope to get over 1000 on a regular basis.  I also wrote about Rebel Ridge, but it got a little bigger, so I decided to save it for my blog, you can all look for it there later this week.

Like many important filmographies of the Global South, Brazilian cinema doesn’t circulate much in the UK, which can make the prospect of discovering it even more daunting.
