So, 'O Pasquim: A Subversão do Humor' is this really fascinating dive into Brazilian counterculture. The documentary feels raw and unpolished, which adds to its charm. It explores a specific journalistic outlet known for its provocative humor during a politically tense time. The pacing is steady, almost meandering at times, but it allows you to soak in the atmosphere of the era. The interviews—though sometimes lacking in production polish—are revealing. You get a real sense of the personalities behind the humor, and I appreciate how it captures the spirit of rebellion. The use of archival footage is pretty effective, creating a strong sense of nostalgia without being too sentimental. Definitely one of those films that makes you think about the role of humor in social critique.
