O Fantasma
This Is Cinema Now: 21st Century Debuts
July 19 - 31, 2019
Portugal’s João Pedro Rodrigues The Ornithologist has gone on to be one of the most exciting, unabashedly queer directors working today, and his invigoratingly kinky debut O Fantasma is a grimy psychosexual odyssey and a deeply felt howl of queer anguish and alienation.
Calibrated to shock with its transgressive blend of filth and kink, João Pedro Rodrigues’s grimy psychosexual odyssey is no mere provocation, but a deeply felt howl of queer anguish and alienation. Set almost entirely in the night world of Lisbon, O Fantasma traces the descent into degradation of Sergio, a scowling young trash collector whose primal lust and sadomasochistic obsession with a handsome motorcyclist drive him to disturbing extremes. It all builds toward a hallucinatory metamorphosis that makes literal the agonized otherness of queer identity and finds Rodrigues pushing gay art cinema into daring new territory. 35mm print courtesy of Cinemateca Portuguesa.
