4º – Thelma and Louise (Ridley Scott, 1991)
After being constantly punished by the social environment that permeates them, two friends decide to leave everything behind and embark on a journey across the country. Directed by Ridley Scott, ‘Thelma and Louise’ weaves hammer-based concepts, exposing, like several other items on this list, the erratic way a society guides its path. A daring and irreproachable film in its construction of rhythm, leaving the worked concepts more palatable to the viewer.
3º – Venus in Fur (Roman Polanski, 2013)
A late actress for a test for a play tries to convince the director who is fit for the role of protagonist. Directed by Roman Polanski, emanating the traditional sexual aura that permeates the director’s filmography, ‘Venus in Fur’ subverts his ways at a certain point in history, completely altering the role of each character and giving a new dynamism to the work. It is worth mentioning that the film happens exclusively in a theater, leaving all its brightness to the irreplaceable figure of the script adapted of a piece by the own Polanski (in partnership with David Ives).
2º – Aquarius (Kleber Mendonça Filho, 2016)
In the plot, a retiree of 65 years fights alone to preserve the building in which it lives, being the last resident of the place. In the midst of this, we will analyze the agitated daily life of the woman, understanding more about the forms of amusement she encounters. ‘Aquarius’ is one of the best films of the Brazilian cinema of this decade, working with an irredeemable plot, a masterful performance of the actress Sônia Braga and a skilful direction of the great Kleber Mendonça Filho.
