The Night and the Days of Miguel Burnier

Miguel Burnier wakes up in his São Paulo apartment. He brews coffee, looks out the window at the grey urban landscape. His day is a chain of small rituals: the walk to the cinema where he works as a ticket clerk, conversations with colleagues, an evening screening of classics on film. The 2026 documentary observes the life of an elderly film critic without pretension or moralizing. The camera follows him through the streets, capturing his reflections on art, solitude, and the passage of time. It's a portrait of a man whose life is inextricably linked to cinema, yet who himself remains in the shadow of the screen. The film explores the boundary between a public profession and a private existence, between nights in the auditorium and days outside of it.
