Quando Parir é um Feitiço

About This Movie

Quando Parir é um Feitiço is a powerful exploration of trauma and resilience. The film dives into Marina's harrowing experience during childbirth, set against the stark backdrop of a maternity hospital. It’s not just a story about motherhood, but a raw examination of violence within medical settings—psychological, obstetric, and even sexual. Fast forward eleven years, and Marina channels her pain into performance art, merging her personal struggles with rich cultural symbolism, like the swords of Ogum. The pacing is thoughtful, allowing the weight of each moment to sink in. It’s atmospheric, almost haunting. The performances feel genuine, and there's a certain rawness to the practical effects that really hit home. It's distinctive, for sure—an important commentary wrapped in personal narrative.
