Obscuro Barroco

"Obscuro Barroco" is a thought-provoking documentary-fiction that delves into the fascinating world of gender and metamorphosis, set against the vibrant backdrop of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The film pays homage to the city's iconic transgender figure, Luana Muniz, and explores themes of transformation, self-discovery, and political struggle through transvestism and carnival culture. As the camera captures the city's breathtaking landscapes and pulsating energy, it raises questions about the human desire for change and its relationship to the body, both intimately and socially. A cinematic tribute to a land of extremes, "Obscuro Barroco" is a visually stunning and deeply engaging journey that challenges our perspectives on identity, self-expression, and the power of transformation.
