This is an artistic take on a documentay. The life and art of lemebel are told through archival footage and her own voice. Lemebel's force is humanized in informal interviews and casual discussions, and then elevated in very slow moving segments that instead of adding detract from the experience. An artist worth exploring, no doubt, but here there's too much material that should be on the editing room's floor. Some moments, like a partial reading of "Manifiesto," are worth gold, though, and i have a hard time believing that more material like that doesn't exist, floating around somewhere. Thank you for making it, but more of lemebel, less of the filmmaker.
Plot summary
Writer, Visual Artist and pioneer of the Queer movement in Latin America, Pedro Lemebel shook up conservative Chilean society during Pinochet's dictatorship in the 1980s. Body, blood and fire were protagonists in his work that he attempted to perpetuate in the last eight years of his life in a film he was never able to see finished. In an intimate and poetic journey through his risky performances dealing with homosexuality and human rights, "Lemebel" portrays a culmination of yearning immortality.
