5º – Christine (Antonio Campos, 2016)
Based on a real event, the film brings the story of a journalist from a small town television channel, exposing the lonely life of a woman and her relentless quest to rise to the top in her career. The film gains its substance when the woman begins to lose contact with reality, increasingly undertaking a self-destructive behavior in relation to her social environment in which she is inserted. ‘Christine’ works with a character inserted in an inexorable stage of depression, also contrasting a possible Borderline Personality Disorder, bringing all the sad degenerative aspect in her. An extremely disturbing film, not recommended for moments of emotional instability because of its heavy conceptual content.
4º – Natural Born Killers (Oliver Stone, 1994)
After a cruel and difficult childhood, Mickey and Mallory, united by simple chance, start an incomprehensible wave of murders without motive, leaving any place that passes in a complete state of chaos. The film brings to the viewer the vision of being human as a product of the environment. Here, in ‘Natural Born Killers’, society simply reaps what it has planted. The work also presents a critique of the trivialization of death found in that society.
