The Poles

About This Movie

The Poles is an interesting blend of genres that really captures a moment in time. It weaves together the vibrant atmosphere of São Paulo's pre-Covid Carnival with a surreal twist, almost like you're peeking into a parallel world. The pacing is a bit unconventional, almost dreamlike, with scenes that linger on the nostalgic beauty of old-school transportation. You see these vehicles, full of a certain charm, just before they fade into the past. The documentary aspect really shines in its exploration of how these cultural landmarks coexist with modernity. And the music? It enhances the whole experience, making it feel alive, yet bittersweet. There’s something hauntingly beautiful about watching these worlds collide just before everything changes.
