Gay cinema, the best friend is Mamma Mia! From the Northeast Longo de Allan Deberton (Pacarute), based on the short name, arrives in Brazilian theaters from Thursday (13) by writing

Venturing into the musical genre with lightness and charm, The best friendnew movie Allan Deberton (Grid), is “Mamma Mia! northeast“. The definition is from the director himself, which was based on his short namesake of 2013 and expanded him, adding music to the cultural and emotional richness of Ceará, where history is set, and creating an authentic and full of energy work.

In history, the young architect Lucas (Vinicius Teixeira, Justice) is frustrated with your relationship with Martin (Leo Bahia, No one enters, no one leaves) and decides to travel alone to Canoa Quebrada, in Ceará, to space.

However, in the paradise scenario, Lucas reunites with an old passion of college, the seductive Felipe (Gabriel Fuentes, In the Emperor’s times), which leads him to embark on a journey for poorly resolved issues of the past, important discoveries about himself and new possibilities for the future.

Just like in Mamma Mia!the narrative of The best friend It is moved by intense passions and decisions that often transcend the logic of daily life, offering an experience in which the practical issues of life are set aside to make room for a universe dominated by emotions and music. The scenario serves as an dream -back cloth, where characters’ dilemmas are lived without the limitations of a reality that requires everyday responsibilities.

Here, life revolves around feelings and desires, and songs, a fundamental part of the plot, offer an almost magical form of expression. The songs are not just a prop, but a way for characters to communicate, expressing their deepest emotions. The vibrant landscapes of Canoa Quebrada, Ceará, and the warmth of relationships become a reflection of this parallel universe where characters can surrender to their dilemmas and passions without worrying about work or social obligations. What matters is what is in the heart: the reunion with a love of the past, the search for an identity and the discovery of new feelings.

The best friend uses music to express the most intimate feelings of its characters, such as the internal conflict of Lucas between the past and the present, or the tensions that arise throughout the reunion with Felipe (Gabriel Fuentes). The musical scenes, by the way, are the highlight of the movie and could be even more present and performative – it seems that Derberton Don’t bet so much in them and it should, but it’s a very welcome tacky.

On the other hand, the filmmaker manages to explore the fantasy of the genre in a charming and fun way, never losing sight of the human and sensitive side of the characters. Songs such as “Gem-Gem” and “Danger” are intense moments, which make the narrative transcend the simple fun and connect directly with the protagonists’ emotional experiences.

The dynamics between Teixeira and Fussy It is another prominent point, which makes The best friend Be so charismatic. The two demonstrate a natural chemistry, either in the moments of greater tension or in the most intimate and emotional scenes. In addition, the mood and the slang Ceará add a layer of freshness to the plot, making The best friend an even more unique and regionalized experience.

Finally, the movie Derberton stands out not only for its lightness and references to the 1980s and 1990s – including special appearances as Gretchen, Claudia Ohana and Mateus Carrieri – But also by the way it creates all this hot atmosphere where the heart of the characters is the engine of the narrative, inviting us to board a musical journey that could only take place on a beach of Ceará.
