MOSQUITO (2020) Trailer – 2020 AFI European Union Film Showcase

Описание: U.S. Premiere

Dreaming of great adventures and of standing up for his homeland, a young Portuguese man enlists in the army during World War I and is sent to the front line in Mozambique, Africa. Left behind by his platoon, he sets out on a grueling trek across the mystic Makua native land, walking for more than 1,000 kilometers, in search of his dream. Director João Nuno Pinto loosely based this dreamy and hypnotic tale on the life of his grandfather and his time in Mozambique with the 4th Portuguese Expeditionary Company, but this beautiful historical drama is really a look at the horrors of war and a reflection on Europe's colonial past. As we follow the young soldier on his epic journey, the melding of the imaginary and the real is key to the exploration of the imaginary space left blurred by the collective historical amnesia of colonialism. Official Selection, 2020 International Film Festival Rotterdam. DIR/SCR João Nuno Pinto; SCR Fernanda Polacow, Gonçalo Waddington; PROD Paulo Branco. Portugal, 2020, color, 125 min. In Portuguese with English subtitles. NOT RATED
