Between dreams and mythology, Our Madness follows the quest of Lucie in a phantomlike Mozambique where the ruins bear witness to man’s barbarity. A mad tale to discover for its remarkable shots, its stunning black and white, and its magnetic chants, and for João Viana’s talent in evoking the savagery of the world with poetic sounds and images.
