‘Brazil is a Time Bomb’: Survival Thriller ‘Property’ Drops Tense, Terrifying Trailer Ahead of Berlinale Premiere (EXCLUSIVE)
variety.comChristopher Vourlias Paris-based Loco Films has released the tense, terrifying trailer for “Property,” Brazilian director Daniel Bandeira’s survival thriller that’s set to have its world premiere Feb.
23 in the Panorama section of the Berlin Film Festival. Lensed by veteran cinematographer Pedro Sotero, the DP behind Kleber Mendonça Filho’s 2019 Berlinale player “Bacurau,” “Property” follows a woman who flees her family estate in an armored car after local workers rise up to occupy it.
Trapped inside the vehicle, she refuses to negotiate, prompting a collision between the competing worlds of haves and have-nots that speaks to a growing schism taking shape in societies across the globe.
Bandeira’s sophomore effort is a timely and explosive portrait of a society on the brink. “Brazil is a time bomb,” the director told Variety. “We’re running toward a point where this bomb will eventually blow up.” He added: “A reckoning is on the way.” “Property” is produced by Simio Filmes and Vilarejo Filmes, whose credits include other politically minded films such as “Aquarius.” The film stars veteran Brazilian screen star Malu Galli as Theresa, who can be seen in the trailer narrowly escaping a hostage situation at the hands of an armed assailant.
