"A rounded bed reflects in silver plates through a mirror on the ceiling. Peer through glasses, waterfalls, and sex chairs: the world of Brazilian motels is one of lust and self-reflection. As the director waits in vain for her date to show up, the mirrored walls capture the moans of lovers next door, while her cell phone camera creates a mise-en-abyme of desire — even if, this time, it remains unfulfilled. Rachel Daisy Ellis’ debut feature delves into the desires held within Brazilian motels, a space where time stands still, filled with sex but also revealing the raw, unguarded intimacy that only such a setting can create, offering a glimpse into Brazil’s passions, contradictions, fears, and dreams.
Eros navigates through different couples, each showcasing their unique relationship with these spaces and with sex itself. With the camera often self-recorded, the characters become both participants and filmmakers, capturing themselves through the reflective surfaces of their phones and the mirrors of their rooms. In Eros, Daisy Ellis and her characters present a singular view of Brazilian society — one driven by desire, but as layered and complex as the rooms themselves. It is a portrait that highlights the theatricality inherent in Brazilian culture, where people long to see and represent themselves, eager to be reflected in their own mirrors."
This screening will be followed by a Q&A with the director.
