Armed with abundant archival material... also supported by dramatizations and scripted scenes, Kleber Mendonça Filho recovers essential moments from his artistic training and the development of his craft in Pictures of Ghosts. [Full review in Spanish]

It’s like celestial time travel while rarely leaving one’s childhood block.

A lovely, enveloping film.

Though the film is in part a cinephilic hymn, it is about the built environment more so than the projected image, about the vanishing sense of one's home more so than the escapism offered by the silver screen.
