Chega de Saudade

ROOFTOP FILM SCREENING

Chega de Saudade is a 2007 drama film directed by Brazilian filmmaker Laís Bodanzky. Shot in the vibrant and pulsating setting of a traditional São Paulo dance hall, the film vividly captures the essence of Brazilian culture and the complex emotions tied to love, longing, and aging.

The movie intertwines the lives of diverse characters, whose stories unfold over the course of one evening at a ballroom. Through a rich tapestry of dance sequences, intimate dialogues, and poignant moments, Chega de Saudade offers a deep reflection on the human experience—exploring themes of desire, memory, and the passage of time. The film’s title, which translates to “No More Longing,” echoes the bittersweet emotions of its characters, each grappling with their own personal histories and dreams.

Chega de Saudade stands out in Brazilian cinema for its innovative narrative structure and its profound exploration of the interplay between joy and melancholy in the dance of life. Join us for this emotionally compelling and beautifully crafted film, celebrated for its authenticity, lyrical storytelling, and the way it resonates with audiences across generations.
