Film Details

A handsome, itinerant cowhand who helps deliver bulls to rodeos in northeast Brazil dreams of becoming a fashion designer; in his spare time he creates exotic fantasy costumes for the “mother” in his makeshift work family. This sensuous, painterly drama—one of the most acclaimed films of the past year—is a rodeo movie that explores gender and body issues as much as animal wrangling. “Not since Javier Bardem and Penelope Cruz rutted in Jamón Jamón have meat and sex made such provocative bedfellows.” –Variety. “Lyrically involving and deeply sensual, Neon Bull showcases a full-bodied artist in command of his form.” –indieWIRE. No one under 18 admitted! Subtitles. DCP. 101 min. www.kinolorber.com
