Carnival is Over

Dir. Fernando Coimbra

Valerio and Regina love life but hate the mafioso family business they have inherited. Unwilling to give up the luxurious lifestyle but desperate to get out of the ruthless racketeering, they devise a foolproof plan that goes awry from the beginning. Valerio and Regina scheme spirals with mounting violence in Fernando Coimbra’s devious gangster comedy that earned rave reviews at the Toronto International Film Festival.

Valerio and Regina soon discover that you don’t doublecross “the family” who will just as quickly turn aggressively vindictive. One other complication–Valerio and Regina are pretty much out of the cash they need to enjoy their luxurious surroundings. Their only recourse seems to be outright murder, one that will send them spiraling into the very hell they were trying to escape. Director Fernando Coimbra’s neo-noir is not only sleek and entertaining, but a perfect vehicle to showcase famed Brazilian actors Leandra Leal and Irandhir Santos.
