Synopsis

If we consider the short film Red Dawn (Bafici ‘11) to be an essay/expedition into the deserted shores of intersexual post-documentary, The Last Time I Saw Macao stands as its definitive conquest. The Portuguese duet celebrates the 15th anniversary of their joint endeavors with a film in which empire and colony are shown just as deeply-rooted and indivisible as trash and high culture. A stylized segment of phonomimic (that ultimate art and craft of trans culture) references Josef von Sternberg’s Macao and marks the start of this story about a man who returns to Macao after a long time when his friend Candy desperately asks him to. The search for that mysterious woman out of a few fragments (a shoe left on the asphalt, a wig floating on the sea) turns this highly densely populated city into a labyrinth of streets and people where the shadow of death lurks in every corner. Between neon lights and a melancholic voice over, The Last Time… is a thriller that cross-dresses with documentary clothing. Or, on the contrary, a travelogue disguised as a mystery film. LL
