O signo da cidade (Sign of the City). 2007. Brazil. Directed by Carlos Alberto Riccelli. Screenplay by Bruna Lombardi. With Bruna Lombardi, Juca de Oliveira, Malvino Salvador. Gil is married but alone, Lydia flirts with danger, Josialdo was born to be a woman, and Mônica only wants to be successful; on her late-night call-in radio program, astrologer Teca ties these disparate lives to her own. Actor-turned-filmmaker Riccelli’s second feature, in which richly evocative steadi-cam shots linger over both the Altmanesque ensemble cast and the city spaces they inhabit, is a valentine to São Paulo and its lonely denizens. In Portuguese; English subtitles. 95 min.
