About This Movie
The Soul of Things dives deep into the life journey of a carnival sculpture, weaving the mythology of the Orixás into its narrative. The film's atmosphere is rich with vibrancy and nostalgia, capturing the essence of carnival through a unique lens. It's not just about the physical creation of the sculpture, but also about its emotional significance, especially through the Babalotim doll—a figure that resonates with many who have lived the carnival experience. The pacing meanders like a slow dance, allowing viewers to reflect on the themes of birth, life, and death. The practical effects used in showcasing the transformation of the sculpture are impressive, and the performances, though subtle, carry a weight that adds depth to this artistic exploration.
