Ossos

There’s a sense that Ossos is a highly contained documentary—a segment taken from lives and problems that don’t begin or end with the film.

What follows is a series of long and moderate takes, often wordless, which are remarkable in their passive beauty. Costa doesn't so much as direct a scene as he paints a scene.

If you're willing to go with the haunting misery done up in an aesthetic way and with conviction, this well-framed pic should do the trick.
