In Medusa, a spooky story about the liberation of women with pop music scores, a group of gals attending a Brazilian church playing Christian Stepford Wife during the day and wearing a white mask at night. Troll the streets and terrorize the women they consider to trample on repentance.
Writer and director Anita Rocha da Silveira develops and feels like a techno-influenced body grotesque with the same bloody fluorescent background as recent feminist horror films like “Citane.” Take a grotesque approach.
However, given that South American countries are becoming more and more enthusiastic about LGBTQ individuals and sex-positive cultures, I feel that these extreme situations are also appropriate.US viewers may be familiar with this, but in Brazil Hate crime of homosexuality Is one of the tallest in the world that is actually Evangelical gang They are trying to cleanse their community violently.
Rocha da Silveira is keen on the eerie nature of modern indoctrination. Mari (Mari Oliveira) and her girlfriend play a catchy worship song for the congregation, and Queen Bee Michele (Lara Tremouroux) creates a YouTube beauty tutorial. How to snap a Christian friendly selfie.
Mali wakes up after one of the gangster’s midnight crusade leaves her with a scar on her face. Dismissed from her cosmetic surgery work and eternal coma, she begins working in a clinic for comatose people and she hopes she can help her by taking pictures of her mythical Melissa. I’m out. Religious warrior.
Eventually, with the help of a charming colleague, Mali begins to notice the pettyness of her way.
While dressed in shocking clothing, Medusa is also a simple character study that addresses issues such as the tragedy of Western beauty standards and the difficulty of leaving abusive relationships along the way. Most importantly, Mali’s evolution feels real and her victory is truly moving. It is here that “Medusa” presents a keen idea. The mob of justice is horrifying, but similarly nerve-wracking is leaving it.
