I just watched a Brazilian movie called Shaolin do Sertão. Sertão is reference to a very specific biome in the Brazilian northeast so I don't know how to translate, but the movie is really fun to watch, it's a pastiche and homage of Chinese Kung Fu movies, in which a big fan becomes a fighter, but nothing works his way. One very funny thing is that they used the sound that fighters make when losing in Street Fighter. Overall a good comedy movie you won't see people talking much.

Castelo Rá-Tim-Bum, o Filme (1999)
The film tells the story of a sorcerer's apprentice named Antonino Stradivarius, a 300-year-old boy who lives in an enchanted castle with his uncles and mentors: Morgana and Doctor Victor. They await a magical moment when the planets of the Solar System align for their powers to be renewed. But for that to happen, Antonino needs to write incantations in his magic book which, after several attempts, remains blank because he just wants to have a normal life like all the other children. Throughout the story, Antonino ends up having to prevent his aunt Losângela from stealing his aunt Morgana's book of spells and taking over the family mansion.

Happy Queer Media Monday!
Today: Paradise Lost (2018)
Most beautiful movie I’ve seen since The Blue Caftan.
(Picture taken from Netflix, because Google didn’t give me a lot to work with. This is Imã, in one of his performance costumes.)
Police officer Odair randomly ends up at a small bar called Paradise Lost, run by a family. The grandfather hires him as a bodyguard for Imã, his very effeminate (and gay) grandson, who runs a certain risk of getting hatecrimed. As he spends more time at the bar, Odair grows close to the different family members, who all have their own battles to fight, and discovers something about them that will also affect his own life.
This movie was SO BEAUTIFUL, I’m still not over it half a week after I watched it. The story is wonderfully human, but it’s the execution that makes it special. The way it’s shot is gorgeous, with some very good frames and great use of color. Then there is the music. The entire movie is carried by the songs sung by the different family members, which for one is good to listen to, but also adds so much intimacy to the whole thing.
If I find more movies like this and The Blue Caftan (2022) (another one so beautiful that I’m still not over it), I will have to make a separate category somewhere for “queer movies that are just too beautiful, in a very bittersweet way”.
Watch it. It’s on Netflix and Mubi. Also, here is the IMBD link.
Queer Media Monday is an action I started to talk about some important and/or interesting parts of our queer heritage, that people, especially young people who are only just beginning to discover the wealth of stories out there, should be aware of. Please feel free to join in on the fun and make your own posts about things you personally find important!
