Only Good Things (Apenas Coisas Boas)

1984, rural Brazil. The life of a solitary farmer is upended when an injured motorcyclist collapses into his arms. Amid the rolling green pastures, a fierce desire takes root – one that shatters familiar notions of masculinity, strength, and dominance. The attraction arrives suddenly, and it’s consequences soon stretch far beyond a single sweltering season.

With boldness and flair, the director flirts with the aesthetics of the western, infusing them with sensuality and a crackling emotional intensity. Bodies become a language of intimacy, and the stark landscape serves as the backdrop for a story that gradually surprises, slipping free of any conventional genre boundaries.

Channelling the sensibilities of Tom of Finland, Alain Guiraudie, Tennessee Williams, and Pedro Almodóvar, Nolasco creates a cinematic world brimming with eroticism, romance, and rebellious force that ruthlessly blows apart systems, norms, and social constraints.
