British label Second Run has officially announced that it will release on Blu-ray Gabriel Mascaro's film Neon Bull (2015), starring Juliano Cazarré and Maeve Jinkings. The release is expected to arrive on the market this summer.
Synopsis: Gabriel Mascaro's sensual, subversive feature unfolds within the macho world of the vaquejada, a traditional Brazilian form of rodeo. Iremar is a bull wrangler, who aspires to become a fashion designer, and the film follows him and his friends as they travel from rodeo to rodeo dreaming of better days ahead.
Balancing a provocative realism with improvisational drama, Neon Bull is a celebration of its characters and their everyday lives as well as their obstinate capacity to dream. It explores the lives of its protagonists in evocative tableaux of fierce, funny, sweaty intimacy which lyrically subverts its macho domain.
