O Fantasma
Director: João Pedro Rodrigues
2000 – 87 mins
Portuguese with English subtitles
Young and handsome Sérgio works the night shift as a trash collector in Lisbon. He is uninterested in his pretty female co-worker Fatima, who displays an avid interest in him, so instead Sérgio roams the city. Eventually Sérgio becomes fascinated with a sleek motorcycle and its arrogant owner—a young man completely indifferent to Sérgio. Sérgio’s surfacing desires unleash his darkest impulses, sending him down a dangerous path of violence, depravity, and degradation.
Village.Berlin’s monthly movie night has become a must for cinephiles to enjoy a selection of beloved classics. The program includes a broad exploration of queer and non-normative perspectives across different genres and artistic styles, going beyond LGBTQI+-themed films. After each screening, guests are encouraged to linger and participate in relaxed group discussions about the films and related themes.
