End of Conservation

About This Movie

So, 'End of Conservation' is this quirky little short from 1990 that really captures João César Monteiro's unique vibe. It’s a wild mix of satire and absurdity, with a pace that feels both frenetic and oddly contemplative. The film dives into Monteiro's obsessions—like filmmaking itself and his rather unsettling fascination with young women. The performances have this raw energy that feels almost spontaneous, which pairs well with the practical effects that, while not overly flashy, add to this offbeat charm. It's not just a film; it's a peek into the mind of a creator who's unapologetically himself. Definitely one for those who appreciate the unconventional.
