Pedro Costa's Growing Pains [On Colossal Youth and Horse Money]

Colossal Youth (Pedro Costa, 2006)

For Fandor, I wrote about Ventura's performances in Pedro Costa's Fontaínhas films, particularly in Colossal Youth (2006) and Horse Money (2014).

Fontaínhas Follies (Horse Money, 2014)

As a participant in Indiewire's Critic's Academy, I wrote two essays while attending the 52nd New York Film Festival.  One considers Horse Money and Fontaínhas' slow death over the course of Pedro Costa's prior films.  You can find the piece here.
