He Who Saw the Abyss

Aquele que Viu o Abismo

Synopsis

The gun pointed at the head is a delirium that expands into disorderly controlled chaos. “He Who Saw the Abyss” by Gregorio Gananian and Negro Leo, is like a car that enters the curve at 300km/h, but slowly. In an experimental whirlwind, moving between a noisy sound and an almost idyllic musicality, the film is structured out of a pile of images that seem as intimate as they are delirious, accelerating into a trance that is fragmented by a montage, signed by João Dumans and Gregorio Gananian, who strive to articulate an intense experience on the big screen.
