"Acidente" is an oddly pretty little film about nothing.
The Q&A on this was very helpful. The filmmakers, Cao Guimarães and Pablo Lobato, took interesting name of 20 towns in the state of Minas Gerais, Brazil, made a poem out of them and then took a road trip to each of these towns.
The ensuing poem/film has snippets of life in each of these places. Some are probably no more than two minutes long and others are as long as maybe 10 minutes. Sometimes they talked to locals, but mostly they just watched. There's a truck driver swimming, an old woman telling the story of the town, gas stations in the middle of the night, whatever caught their fancy.
I nearly left more than once, in part because of a large man with a large head that was blocking the screen. I always stayed because there was something stunningly beautiful right then.
There's not much to say about this one, other than it's pretty. The kind of thing which would catch my eye if I were flipping channels in the middle of the night.
