If you told me that the director Gabriel Martins thought exclusively in images, I wouldn’t be surprised.
Mars One, his gracefully composed observation of a working-class Brazilian family, is littered with arresting shots. Take the one of Tércia, the matriarch played by Rejane Faria, cleaning a window: Her curly mop of bleached blonde hair remains static as her right hand slides across the glass, her back muscles flexing in response to the laborious task. Or the scene of her daughter Eunice (Camilla Damião) consummating her love with her girlfriend on the floor of an empty penthouse apartment. Her dark skin gleams against the sharp, white-tiled floor as the baby-blue colored braids of her lover slither across her skin. These scenes are occasions — charged flashes of the director’s loving preoccupation with his story. And who wouldn’t be obsessed with such a humane, well-calibrated tale?

"A starry-eyed, soft-hearted Brazilian family drama." Array Releasing has revealed the new US trailer for Mars One, a Brazilian indie family drama that first premiered at the 2022 Sundance Film Festival earlier this year. Marte Um, as it is originally known in Portuguese, is also Brazil's Best International Film official submission to the next Academy Awards. A lower middle class Black family in Brazil undergoes a series of challenging and profound changes, reinventing themselves and their family. Tércia, the mother, reinterprets her world after an unexpected encounter leaves her wondering if she's cursed.

Representing the rhythms of everyday life is, generally speaking, a particular concern of films situated outside the mainstream. Relatively free from the strictures of standard narratives dictated (for good and ill) by audience expectations and genres, a large portion of these filmmakers focus on the quotidian, attempting to find significance in the mundane. Naturally, this base idea leads to its own constellation of possibilities, caused by both social milieu and aesthetic predilection, but the same impulse can be seen throughout many films coming from many fundamentally separate filmmaking practices.
One such example is Long Way Home, a Brazilian film directed by André Novais Oliveira, in his second feature and narrative feature debut. Its central and almost exclusive focus is Juliana (Grace Passô), a woman who moves to the city of Contagem in order to work for a group dedicated combating the mosquito-spread Dengue fever. She is married but slightly estranged from her husband,...
