VANITAS

BR  I  2017  I  6’  I  Vinícius Cardoso

Memento mori, or "remember death." A poignant message from Art comes to this film. Because today we do not share pains and failures. And so vanity is the price to be paid. Such a move made vanity a virtue, no longer the capital sin of pride. Bringing among its characteristics immortality. We are the civilization that put death aside.Therefore, the idea of this work is to exhort the spectator to consider mortality. Pondering about death is, paradoxically, pondering about life and temptations. Observing ignorance about false values, this dancing spirit warned that "our vices and horrors, dishonorable passions, wild, blind, dangerous irrationalities, our unconfessable impulses ..." has an end. This is the drama.
