“A reflective celebration of brazilian bohemian self-destruction.”
Using photos taken on a dominoes game and one music by the artist Pepe Moreno, the short film is an observational and ironic documentary that shows the transformation of the participants and the chaos that ensues when there is excessive alcohol consumption. A comical and realistic reflection on the excesses and affections that mark the encounters of Brazilian male youth, all to the sound of the electronic forró genre.

An inspiring, triumphant and wickedly funny portrait of one of comedy’s most enigmatic and important figures, CALL ME LUCKY tells the story of Barry Crimmins, a beer-swilling, politically outspoken and whip-smart comic whose efforts in the 70s and 80s fostered the talents of the next generation of standup comedians. But beneath Crimmins’ gruff, hard-drinking, curmudgeonly persona lay an undercurrent of rage stemming from his long-suppressed and horrific abuse as a child – a rage that eventually found its way out of the comedy clubs and television shows and into the political arena.
