TEMPORAL (Storm)

(35 mm, 11 min, cor, 1984)

In the same house, in the same night, two groups get together. One, formed by very grave men, members of a religious-monarchist order. The other, a group of lunatics dressed up as animals, in a party full of sex and rock 'n' roll. When the storm begins and the lights go out, anything can happen.

Reviews

"A really stimulating film is Jorge Furtado and José Pedro Goulart’s first film, STORM, based on a chronicle by Luis Fernando Verissimo. In this case, the somewhat 'unfilmable' texts of Verissimo become a dynamic and stimulating short film, where the atmosphere of mockery, the author's sarcasm and irony find a perfect vehicle of expression through Christian Lesage's images, edited with great precision by Giba Assis Brasil."
(Tuio Becker, FOLHA DA TARDE, Porto Alegre, 14-15/04/84)
