There is something about seeing bright, luscious colors that begs us to pay attention. During Divine Love (Divino Amor), I waited for the momentum to pick up, for the universe in which it takes place – a dystopic (utopic?) future in Brazil, circa 2027 – to expand. It never does, and it ends abruptly, but I found that I had a renewed interest whenever a burst of color enters the frame.
