quotes filme noir
.... press on
This puppet show is inspired by a cinematographic style in which mystery blends quite well with clichés about many different crimes. The scenography and the costumes in black, white and grey, the funny story and the well conducted puppets make this animation theatre a humorous game of cinema and comics with nice ‘actors’.
> Macksen Luiz, Jornal do Brasil – newspaper
FILME NOIR has as its big merit the use and abuse of visual creativity in favor of the approximation between the classical art and the contemporaneous pop culture, even by the option of working with ‘dolls’ for adults, even by the cinematographic style chosen for the theatrical recreation.
> Vany Paiva, Carta Maior Magazine Online
FILME NOIR is a very well-succeeded experience that deserves to be congratulated unconditionally by the public, and its success must be shared between all the professionals who take part of it.
> Lionel Fischer, O Dia Journal
The puppets indeed seem to acquire personalities of their own, as the plot faithfully follows the mood of a film noir.

FILME NOIR wins the Shell Prize of Theatre in the category of Best Lighting for the work of Renato Machado, also being nominated for the Special Category “due to the quality of its puppets creation and puppeteering” – March/2005.
FILME NOIR is a modern production and places Pequod at this genre’s vanguard in Brazil.

Pequod showed complete stage control in the opening night. FILME NOIR justifies its French stetics, with a dark mood and a well-humored story. (...) The audience stood up and applauded.
> Fabiano Finco, Jornal Pioneiro – newspaper – Caxias do Sul, 6/25/2005
Pequod had fulfilled its promise for the opening night: they recreated in stage the typical camera movements from the movies to tell the story of an impossible love affair in a production that leaded for the lighting.

SANGUE BOM is a show full of appeals and tricks that have been enchanting the young audience. More than that, it is the puppet theatre that finally exchanges the festivals career for a regular season in the theatres.
> Lucia Cerrone, Jornal do Brasil – journal - Rio de Janeiro, 12/01/1999
The stageplay and the direction of Miguel Vellinho points to the unashamed use of stereotyped characters and vampire stories’ clichés. That’s good, because these are exactly the elements that make the show something particularly special.
> Isabel Butcher, Veja Rio Magazine – Rio de Janeiro, 05/16/2001
Once more the dream had become reality in the Canela’s International Puppet Theatre Festival, which finished yesterday. No doubt, the best show from the selection, Sangue Bom, brought the comic and tragic love affair between a vampire and a distressed princess whose look is inspired in the Icelandic singer Björk.
> Jornal do Comércio – newspaper – Porto Alegre, 08/06/2001
SANGUE BOM is much more fun and beauty than Philip Glass’ Dracula.
> Cris Gutikoski, Zero Hora Journal – Porto Alegre, 09/25/2001
A show about immoderate and ageless love is an obligatory, social and instructive programme. It helps raising better human beings.
