(The Sandwich)
(35 mm, 13 min, color, 2000)
|
The last moments in a couple’s life: the time
of separation. But the end of one thing may be the beginning of another.
Another couple, the first moments: the time of discovery. Encounters, separations
and a sandwich. In film, taste is i the eyes of the beholder.

Reviews
"It seems like a game and perhaps it is a game, as there is much playfulness
in this project. It is playful and - as this is Jorge Furtado we are talking
about - it is lucid, because, just as he does in his television and film
work, he wants to discuss language, synergize forms of expression."

"The director masters his work with great skill. In his previous (and extraordinary)
works, Barbosa and Island of Flowers, he manipulates the narrative to keep
the spectator in suspense. In his latest film, he surprises you by manipulating
film language itself, making abundant use of metalanguage."
(Gustavo Galvão,

"As with
those Russian dolls, (the film) is a scene inside a scene, inside a scene,
inside a scene. The real gets mixed up with the even more real and, actually,
all is nothing but a feeling. The crazy feeling of seeing oneself on the
cinema screen. This is cinema, and that is why this film won me over. Not
because of the way sandwiches can be romantic, but because of the simplicity
with which cinema can be as real as a sandwich."
