Recently I have been thinking about Julio Bressane's Cleopatra (2007). It's a film with a rare kind of tone throughout: it's absorbing and erotocomic, and in its imagination of antiquity it sits somewhere between Straub-Huillet and Fellini. It looks both lavish and barebones. Below are some stills to whet your appetite. (H/t MA.)

I always thought Cleopatra was like a Frank Tashlin social comedy done as a Straub-Huillet historical film. A comedy about civilization done in a tone that is very unique brazilian I guess.
It's a measure of how Facebook has changed - or warped? - the way I navigate Internet content that my first instinct was to "like" your comment, Filipe!
