Killed the Family and Went to the Movies

About This Movie

Killed the Family and Went to the Movies is an intriguing blend of comedy, drama, and thriller that captures the chaotic essence of Rio de Janeiro. The narrative is unsettling right from the start, with Bebeto's shocking act of violence against his family setting a darkly comedic tone. The pacing feels deliberately disjointed, reflecting Bebeto's fractured psyche as he moves from real-life horror to the surreal escapism of the cinema. The four vignettes he watches are bizarre and thought-provoking—a stark contrast to his grim reality. It’s a film that plays with themes of escapism, madness, and the absurdity of life, with practical effects that add an unsettling authenticity. Performances are raw, and there's something unique about how the film explores the thin line between sanity and chaos.
