The Brazilian critic-turned-filmmaker Kleber Mendonça Filho has followed up his prize-winning debut NEIGHBORING SOUNDS with the tremendous melodrama AQUARIUS, which premiered this year in competition at the Cannes Film Festival. Told with the director's beautifully formed storytelling, Aquarius follows the saga of a famous music critic (a remarkable performance by Sonia Braga) who is the remaining holdout in the once-luxurious apartment complex Aquarius, fighting a new wave of development in the city of Recife.
