EIFF: Property
From Brazil, an unsparing new take on the home-invasion horror genre that will surprise and disturb.
Dir. Daniel Bandeira / Brazil / 2023 / Brazilian Portuguese with English subtitles
Traumatised by a violent encounter from her past, Tereza (Malu Galli) has become a recluse. Hoping to ease her anxiety, her husband buys a state-of-the-art armoured car to transport her to their family country estate. Unbeknownst to them, the estate workers, suddenly and unfairly dismissed after years of exploitation, have decided to take matters into their own hands. Writer-director Daniel Bandeira never lessens his grip on the audience throughout this taut, anxiety-laden thriller, shot by Bacurau’s cinematographer Pedro Sotero. A politically twisted take on the home-invasion film, Property may have the unlikely after-effect of making one sympathise with landlords.
