AQUARIUS

Kleber Mendonça Filho Brezilya, 2016
Sometimes shot in unobtrusively realist fashion, especially in the conversations, the film nevertheless opens up stylistically from time to time, making full useof the widescreen format – for example when the camera moves from events outdoors to pull back, passing over Clara dozing in her hammock, and pan across her flat, showing the interior's porousness to light and sound from the outside world.

Within this simple scenario, Mendonça and the titanic Sonia Braga gradually sculpt an image of an entire life, inside and out, and while speaking specifically to contemporary Brazilian politics they also happen to touch upon nearly every issue that became a talking point of the 2016 U.S. election—entrenched racial and class divides, gender inequality, corporate greed. Aquarius is gripping exhilarating, and exquisitely rendered, and its message was loud and clear even before it resonated anew.

A film about the most vital weapon in a radical's arsenal: historical memory. It is precisely Mendonça's ability to articulate the Then with the Now that rapacious neoconservatism demands. So whatever you do, don't claim continuity, don't observe an ongoing cycle of oppression. This is a film about the struggle over an edifice of the past. Preserve it, or knock it down?

In cherished dreams, flashbacks, friendships and music, the film takes up arms with her, but avers sentiment and refuses to give her a neat ending.

The film's revelation of termite infestation, a metaphor for the crumbling infrastructure of capitalist development everywhere, is more direct and obvious than anything in Things to Come, more Zavattinian than the Rossellinian vision of a woman alone in Hansen-Løve's character study.

Clara recognizes the spreading rot of corruption even when her children and colleagues do not. She stubbornly stands her ground, and in turn becomes one of the great modern symbols of human resistance against political apathy. Braga gives the character an indestructible sense of self, showcasing a range of emotions that defy easy categorization.

Despite Sonia Braga's fierce performance as a woman of unbreakable determination and proud refinement, this drama by the Brazilian director Kleber Mendonça Filho quickly lapses into sentimental attitudinizing... friends rally around Clara for a rousing finish; in the meantime, the director's self-evident sympathies leach the complexity out of the story. Only a brief scene of Clara's conflict with her daughter (Maeve Jinkings) over the family fortune offers a hint of troubled waters.

The film's effectiveness depends to a considerable extent upon the riveting central performance by Sonia Braga, best known to English-speaking audiences from her lead role in Dona Flore and Her Two Husbands and Kiss of the Spider Woman. A cancer survivor (as demonstrated by Braga when she bares an apparently real mastectomy scar), Clara commands complete sympathy as she fearlessly stands up to her devious persecutors.

No matter what's happening at any given moment (apart from the prologue), Braga is killing it. Clara's tenderness and her ferocity are inextricable, and Braga miraculously succeeds in making the character an indomitable force of nature (to the point where you want to urge the rapacious real-estate villains to throw in the towel; they're clearly outmatched) while simultaneously revealing how fragile and weary she can be.

Some might well accuse this stubbornly singular woman [Clara] of living in the past, but to watch "Aquarius" is to see her surrendering again and again to the bliss of the present moment — never more so than in a final scene of thrilling, annihilating ferocity. Another one bites the dust, indeed.

The film that takes place in and around the apartment building is a strange brew of class divisions, sex on the beach, and physical media that you'll want to keep downing, especially with Braga tending bar — her performance is exactly the kind of late-career showcase you might wish all your favorite underutilized actors would receive. She anchors almost every scene across a 142-minute runtime that can't hope to contain her immense talent.

It takes at least two data points to begin building the picture of an auteur — and viewing Aquarius in light of Mendonça Filho's previous film (and debut feature) Neighboring Sounds (2012) is very illuminating. Taken together, both movies reveal "big" themes that clearly carry urgency for the director: the way urban space is threatened, surveilled, invaded — and how class dynamics play out in a city (in this case his hometown of Recife).
