Pretérito Imperfeito

About This Movie

Pretérito Imperfeito is a fascinating dive into the complexities of time travel and youthful curiosity. Set against the backdrop of UFSCar, the film bathes the viewer in an atmosphere of academic tension and intrigue. The pacing feels deliberately uneven, mirroring the uncertainty that the characters face as they unravel a web of secrets surrounding Tachyons. Practical effects are utilized creatively, giving the sci-fi elements a grounded feel that enhances the overall experience. The performances are earnest, especially from the ensemble cast of students who embody the struggle between their academic pursuits and the real-life stakes of their friend's disappearance. There’s a distinct tone here—part mystery, part existential exploration—that keeps you invested.
