Product Notes

Sergio Bianchi's CHRONICALLY UNFEASIBLE is a manifesto against the corruption and hypocrisy of the Brazilian body politic. It explores the relationships between the staff and customers of an expensive restaurant in São Paulo while a professor researches the appalling living conditions in the countryside. Each person tries to either gain or retain power with hilarious and disastrous effect resulting in an absurd tale of the inability of people to connect with one another. In one scene, Professor Alfredo (Umberto Magnani) watches a group of slum kids play the drums for a middle class audience and comments on the tragedy of "poverty as a tourist attraction." Characterized by an acerbic wit, Bianchi's inflammatory style explodes the shallow pretense of its characters unearthing their contradictory natures that are as frightful as they are expected. Influenced by the films of the French New Wave and continuing a tradition which began with the Brazilian film movement known as Cinema Novo, Bianchi's aesthetic is characterized by jump cuts, the fusion of documentary with fiction, and constantly veers from the main action with commentary and asides. CHRONICALLY UNFEASIBLE drew passionate reactions pro and con from Brazilian critics and was nominated for a Brazilian Academy Award for Best Picture in 2001.

This film screened in March 2002 as part of the retrospective Taking No Prisoners: The Films of Sergio Bianchi organized by the Film Society of Lincoln Center in New York City.
