A movie about distant yet truthful connections

"Friday Night Saturday Morning" is a fine and balanced film showing how the distance can't stop a true love connection. Here, a woman in Ukraine (Bohdana Smyrnova) and a man in Brazil (Pedro Sotero) have some fascinating phone exchanges during the course of a day - night-time in Brazil, daytime in Ukraine. They form a bond while imitating gestures and actions such as walking on a beach and feeling closer to each other despite the distance. Together yet alone leading separate lives. Kléber Mendonça Filho's film is a curious observation of human relations, connections and some sadness on the way, the blues that comes when two souls can be with each other to feel the touch and form a deeper contact. Despite being a Brazilian film the characters talk to each other in English, maybe a hint that she's a foreign girl. Amazing sober job. 8/10.
