Film Description

With echoes of filmmakers such as Jacques Tourneur, Robert Bresson, Nicholas Ray and Straub-Huillet channelled through his own sensibility and environment, Pedro Costa creates languid and unsettling portraits of amazing rigour, beauty and intimacy that can be both elusive and utterly mesmerising.

His auspicious debut, Blood, demonstrates his love and knowledge of both classical Hollywood and European art cinema. It explores the plight of two brothers as they attempt to come to terms with the death of their father and the legacy of violence and debt he has left behind.
Shot in startling monochrome, it is a lushly stylized romantic fable, shot through with a love and knowledge of cinema.
