"Margarette's Feast"
2002
Directed by Renato Falcao

Renato Falcao's feature debut harkens back to Brazil's silent cinema heyday to tell the story of a good-natured factory worker whose severance pay allows him to throw an extravagant birthday celebration for his wife. In place of dialogue Falcao decorates his feature with the rhythms of Brazilian music, and his underlit photography and beautiful compositions effortlessly evoke the achievements of early silent cinema. "Superbly updates the style of silent movies to show how the spirit of Chaplin is still with us" (FIPRESCI). Silent.  80 minutes.
