Cláudia Varejão : 2020
Amor fati could be translated from the Latin as love for one's destiny, but also as the love that is destined for us. Two twin sisters, a master and his dog, lovers who look like each other – all doubles are possible in this simultaneously poetic and hyper-realistic universe. Here, love comes in all shapes and sizes, building a choreography of visual resemblances, while also questioning what makes a couple in the contemporary world. Amor Fati seeks out parts that complete each other. These are portraits of couples, friends, families and pets and their owners. They share the intimacy of daily life, habits, beliefs, tastes and even some physical traits. From their faces, from the choreography of their gestures, is unveiled the story that binds them. Drawn from everyday life, right before our eyes the film portrays a chorus of affection and the collective memory of a country. Cláudia Varejão's documentary premiered in competition at Visions du Réel 2020.
