In DESTINY DELUXE, a film crew is eaten alive by a greenscreen. But, unlike in The Purple Rose of Cairo, the protagonists do not enter another fictional filmic universe, but rather, their own lives become cinematic. An intimate look at the youth of contemporary Brazil. (Flavia Dima)

Diogo Baldaia constructs a Bressonian microcosm which is often traversed by strange, surrealistic moments, which send meta-cinematic hints all the way from Carlos Reygadas to Martin Rejtman. DESTINY DELUXE begs the question - what would one's own life look like if it were "transformed" into cinema, and what codes and forms would be appropriate for each given story? (Flavia Dima)
