Endless Passions
It’s 1939, and the world is teetering on the edge. On the day World War Two breaks out, a group of people discuss the state of the world in a little bar on a South American beach, far away from the front. A Brazilian communist faces off against a Portuguese capitalist; an Argentinian fascist against a Trotskyist French actress. On this remote sandbank, they all defend their ideologies that have been overtaken by reality. Parallels with the contemporary rise of extremist ideologies in Brazil (and around the globe) are hard to ignore.

"Him" (2025) Film Review-The realities of making the grade in professional sports gets a cultism-driven, horror film makeover
"WHAT ARE YOU WILLING TO SACRIFICE?!!!!" "EVERYTHING!!!!!"
