About This Movie

Let It Burn offers a raw glimpse into the turbulent lives of addicts in a São Paulo hotel.

You feel the weight of desperation in every frame, with the camera lingering on the faces of its subjects, revealing their vulnerabilities and fleeting moments of intimacy. The pacing is deliberately uneven, mirroring the unpredictability of addiction itself. It's not polished; it feels real, sometimes uncomfortable. The performances are striking, almost like you're eavesdropping on their lives. It’s distinctive in how it doesn't glamorize the struggle but rather presents it as raw and human.
