Vai Dar Nada (2022)
Trailer
Why watch this film?
"Stay calm, it won't be anything". This expression, used right and wrong in Brazil, is the title (and theme) of the comedy "Vai Dar Nada". Directed by Ana Luiza Azevedo ("Aos Olhos de Ernesto") and Jorge Furtado ("The Man Who Copied"), the feature film does not have a specific protagonist, but a very strong nucleus of peripheral characters. All of them live on the edge of crime, or even in the world of crime - ranging from robberies to the sale of stolen motorcycles. It is an "favela movie" in essence, but Furtado, Ana and the script by Guel Arraes ("O Bem Amado", "O Auto da Compadecida") try to put a lighter treatment, with a strong foot in comedy, valuing the characters and showing that there is joy, and not only tragedy, in the favela. Highlight for the good cast, with names like Cauê Campos, Katiuscia Canoro and Jéssica Barbosa, who know how to treat their characters in such a light and fun script.
