Peixe

About This Movie

Peixe is a subtle exploration of daily life in Belo Horizonte, where Marina, the protagonist, navigates the city on her bike, delivering goods and snippets of her existence. The film's pacing is deliberately measured, almost languid, allowing the viewer to soak in the atmospheric details of the urban landscape. There’s a rawness to the performances that feels genuinely authentic, drawing you into Marina's world. The practical effects are minimal but effectively evoke the weight of her struggles and aspirations. Themes of isolation, connection, and the grind of everyday life permeate the narrative. While it doesn't have a grand arc, it captures a slice of life that feels very much lived in, making it an intriguing watch for those who appreciate character-driven stories.
