Reflexos da Cheia

About This Movie

Reflexos da Cheia is a fascinating documentary that dives into the chaos of the 2021 Rio Negro flood. The way the director, Jimmy Christian, captures Manaus through the shimmering reflections in the water is quite striking. There's this eerie beauty in the images — the city looks almost ethereal, like a dreamscape. The pacing feels contemplative, allowing you to soak in the visuals and think about the impact of nature on urban life. It’s not just about the flood; it’s about how this event changes perceptions. The atmosphere is heavy yet poetic. The blend of visuals and themes of resilience resonate throughout, making this film stand out in its meditative approach.
