Ahead of his new compilation Film Music 1976-2020, Brian Eno has released a dark new video for “Decline and Fall” from the O Nome da Morte soundtrack.
The 2017 Brazilian film translates to Tarnished Land. It was directed by Henrique Goldman, who also directed Eno’s new video. The clip opens with a man being buried alive, followed by burning forests and the trail of an assassin, whose victim later floats in the waters of the Amazon.

Brian Eno has collected highlights from his soundtrack work over the past 40 years — some familiar, some hard-to-find — for the producer and ambient music pioneer’s new collection Film Music 1976-2020.
The compilation is a sequel of sorts to Eno’s 1978 EP Music for Films — as well as its follow-up installments in 1983 and 1988 — and bridges his film work from 1976’s Sebastiane (“Final Sunset”) through 2020’s Stewart Brand documentary We Are As Gods.

Oh, boy, this could be good. A new trailer for O Nome da Morte really steps up the action after a tranquil beginning. André Mattos, Matheus Nachtergaele, and Marco Pigossi star; Henrique Goldman directed. Fernando Meirelles (City of God) serves as one of the producers. It's based on the true story of Julio Santana, a notorious hit-man who claimed to have killed hundreds of people. Maybe that's why the trailer, which you can watch below, looks so chilling. The film will open in theaters in Brazil on August 9. No word on other distribution yet....

Toronto -- The Toronto International Film Festival on Thursday (August 20) unveiled its final selections, including international premieres for South Korean director Lee Hey-jun's "Castaway on the Moon" and Mike Sandejas' "If I Knew What You Said," from the Philippines.
And the Masters sidebar added the latest work by veteran auteurs Lars von Trier, Amos Gitai, Francois Ozon, Michael Haneke and Margarethe von Trotta.
Hey-jun's offbeat romantic drama will unspool as part of the Contemporary World Cinema sidebar, which added 34 titles as Toronto finalized a September slate that comprises 335 films from 64 Countries.
The Cwc program also booked international premieres for two Australian films, Rachel Perkins' "Bran Nue Dae" and Robert Conolly's "Balibo," Cesc Gay's "V.O.S.," from Spain, Italian director Giuseppe Capotondi's "The Double Hour" and Henrique Goldman's "Jean Charles," a British/Brazilian co-pro.

Based on a true-life figure, "Princesa" tells the story of a young Brazilian transsexual who journeys to Milan with the hope of scoring enough money as a hooker to pay for a sex-change operation.
Why Milan, you ask? It seems the red-light district of this Italian city is the world's largest market for transvestite prostitution. That fact is the most educational and edifying aspect of this less-than-scintillating Brazilian effort, from Strand Releasing, which squanders a colorful setting and characters with uninspired acting and direction.
Based loosely on Fernanda Farias de Albuquerque, whose autobiography inspired the film, the titular hero/heroine is 19-year-old Fernanda, played by gorgeous newcomer Ingrid de Souza. Fernanda arrives in Milan with little experience, but soon she is taken under the wing of Karin (Lulu Pecorari), an older transsexual and the de facto madame of the streets.
Soon Fernanda, now dubbed Princesa, has become one of the most successful prostitutes around, popular with clients and co-workers alike. Things are going swimmingly until she be-comes involved romantically with one of her customers, Gianni (Cesare Bocci), a handsome, married businessman.
Although initially horrified and disgusted when he learns of her true sexuality, Gianni overcomes his reservations, leaves his wife and moves in with Fernanda, promising to pay for her operation. Unfortunately, she soon discovers that, while she wants to become a woman, being a conventional housewife isn't all it's cracked up to be.
While the film deals with pro-vocative situations, it is surprisingly formulaic and tired in its approach, and the central character isn't drawn with sufficient complexity to engage our interest. Not helping matters is de Souza's lack of expressiveness; while beautiful to look at, too often her emotions don't register onscreen.
The supporting players fare better; many of them are nonpros, but they bear a stamp of authenticity that adds greatly to the atmosphere. Pecorari is particularly effective as the world-weary Karin. Another strong asset is the extensive location shooting on the seedier neighborhoods of Milan, demonstrating that the city is about more than fashion models and the Duomo.
