De Profundis

About This Movie

So, 'De Profundis' is this really raw documentary that digs deep into the psyche of a community that faced a brutal transition. You see, they moved the entire city of Itacuruba for a hydroelectric plant, and what followed is pretty haunting—the suicide rates shot up, like ten times the national average. The film captures that desolation and despair, you know? It’s not just about the statistics; it’s the personal stories that hit hard. The pacing is contemplative, letting you marinate in the atmosphere of loss and struggle. It's all about memory and the echoes of a place that used to be home. The way it’s shot feels intimate, like you’re there with them, grappling with their grief and searching for hope amidst the darkness.
