Monumental

About This Movie

So, 'Monumental' is this short doc that really nails the connection between sports and family, you know? Set against the backdrop of an important match for Londrina Esporte Clube, it’s like you can feel the director's love for the team and his grandfather seep through every frame. The pacing is reflective, almost meditative at times, letting you soak in the atmosphere of the stadium and the tension of the game. There's a rawness to the performances, almost like a personal diary brought to life. It’s not overly polished, which gives it this authentic vibe—like you’re right there, sharing these moments with the director. The blend of documentary and drama works well, creating something that feels intimate yet expansive in its themes.
