LOCARNO 2021: A MÁQUINA INFERNAL DE FRANCIS VOGNER DOS REIS

Por Mónica Delgado

Si bien Vogner tiene experiencia como guionista, productor e incluso actor en algunos films independientes de cine brasileño (fue guionista de Jogo das Decapitações (2013), de Sergio Bianchi; O Último Trago (2016), de Pedro Diógenes, Luiz Pretti y Ricardo Pretti; and Os Sonâmbulos (2018), de Tiago Mata Machado), esta es una primera muestra incursión en la dirección que permite conocer cuáles son esas filias o motivaciones, aquí asociadas a códigos del cine de género (el cine de terror más conceptual), liado a una crítica social desde el mundo obrero automatizado.

The thing is, Vogner comes off fine.
