The Silver Cliff (O Abismo Prateado)
Director: Karim Ainouz.
Brazil, 2011.
85 mins. with English subtitles.
THE SILVER CLIFF was inspired by a song by Brazilian musician Chico Buarque, called Eye to Eye, about the impossibility of love and forgiveness. Having already won many admirers with MADAM SATA, SUELY IN THE SKY and I TRAVEL BECAUSE I HAVE TO, I COME BACK BECAUSE I LOVE YOU. Director Karim Ainouz here takes us on the lyrical and poetic journey of Violeta, who retrieves a voicemail during her work at a dentail clinic, in which her husband informs her he won?t be returning. Confusion, despair and hurt propel her all over the city, as she tries and fails to reach Djalma or gather information about his unexplained decision. Arriving at the airport too late to catch the last flight to Porto Alegre, on an impulse she takes a taxi to Copacabana..
