Neon Bull

About This Movie

Neon Bull, directed by Gabriel Mascaro, really dives into this unique rodeo culture in Brazil, you know? Iremar's journey is both gritty and oddly poetic. The pacing is relaxed, allowing you to soak in the atmosphere of the dusty landscapes and the raw lives of the characters. There’s this palpable tension and longing throughout, especially when Iremar dreams of a life in the clothing industry. The performances feel genuine, almost unfiltered. You get a sense of the struggle between tradition and ambition. And the practical effects, especially with the bulls, have this raw authenticity that you don’t see often. It’s a study of dreams and the everyday, wrapped in the vibrant hues of the Brazilian landscape. Really something special.
