Pernas

About This Movie

Pernas is quite an intriguing piece by Julião Sarmento, blurring the lines between visual art and cinema. It has this unique, almost dreamlike tone – a kind of atmospheric exploration that drifts rather than rushes. The pacing feels deliberately unhurried, allowing you to soak in the visual compositions, which are distinctly striking. There’s a palpable focus on the body and movement, echoing themes of physicality and perception. It’s not just a film; it’s an experience that immerses you in its visual language. Practical effects, when they appear, feel organic, enhancing the dreamlike quality without overwhelming the narrative. Definitely a conversation starter among collectors and those who appreciate the intersection of different art forms.

Pernas remains somewhat elusive in the collector market, with limited distribution making it a rare find. Its unique blend of visual art and film has piqued the interest of niche collectors, particularly those focused on avant-garde cinema. As far as format history goes, not much has circulated, and it tends to appear in art film compilations or festival retrospectives, which adds to its scarcity. Collectors looking for standout pieces that challenge conventional storytelling will appreciate what this film offers.
