Don’t leave Not By Chance to chance



Serena for GR Film Buffs:
I have to admit, as I may have already admitted on other occasions, I am a bit like Jamie Lee in A Fish Called Wanda for Portuguese. My cousin just returned from a five-week trip there, full of je je je and perfectly pronounced formalities of speech. Good thing she’s in town from Manhattan and I can send her and all of you to see Nao Por Acaso for its final SFIFF screening tomorrow, Wednesday the 7th. Get mesmerized watching the tug of war, articulated beautifully, between two control-obsessed types, attempting to relive only the sweet moments and getting lost in the process. Dig in to the question: Are we every fully aware of all the possibilities around us? Plan for ample deconstruction time après-viewing so you can converse on your own history’s ghosts and make sure they’re not haunting too much. The quick-tempo, sensual tones of the voices make it that much easier to connect with this tale of love, loss, letting go and really truly looking around you.

See it at 9:45 at Kabuki Tomorrow!
