Folha virada is a fascinating glimpse into the lives of two Umbanda leaders. The short film has a raw intimacy, capturing the vibrancy and struggles of Pai Marcos Luciano de Oxalá and Madrinha Catingueira against the backdrop of Piauí’s rich cultural tapestry. You really feel the weight of their experiences, both within their spiritual community and the broader societal context. The pacing allows for moments of reflection, highlighting the nuances of gender, sexuality, and faith in a way that feels deeply personal. The tone strikes a balance between reverence and honesty, making it distinctive in its exploration of LGBTQIAPN+ identities in a religious framework. It’s that blend of documentary realism with the poetic that sticks with you long after the credits roll.
