Viva Procrastination

Cidade Baixa / Lower City is one of 40 films in the @britishfilminstitute's thoughtfully curated Brazil on Film season throughout May and June - what a treat for this gringa to finally see it on the big screen.

The toxic love triangle peers into the murky world of three young adults, muddling their way through life on the underside of Salvador, Bahia. Sérgio Machado's electrifying drama explores the dilemma of three people hopelessly obsessed with each other; increasingly willing to betray each other; and completely unable to walk away.

At the same time, it's an unflinching look into the violent and exploitative realities of life for young men and women with slim chances in an urban environment riven with economic inequality.
