About This Movie

Capim-Navalha really draws you in with its raw and intimate portrayal of trans men Gustavo and Gaé. Set against the striking backdrop of Chapada dos Veadeiros, it feels like a journey into a world that’s often overlooked. The pacing is deliberately slow, allowing you to absorb their stories and struggles in a more profound way. It's striking how the film captures the essence of their lives, the highs, and lows, with such honesty. The cinematography complements the themes of identity and existence beautifully. There’s an authenticity in their performances that’s hard to shake off. I wouldn't say it's conventional, but that's what makes it stand out in the documentary space.
