Loosely inspired in the book Catatau, by Paulo Leminski, the film explores the Brazilian poet’s hypothesis: ‘What if René Descartes had come to Brazil along with Maurice of Nassau?’ Materializing this idea, Ex It follows the father of modern philosophy in a journey through the tropics.
Bringing René Descartes into the 21st century, Cao Guimarães’ film straddles fiction and documentary. As lyrical images of nature clash with urban tumult, Ex It accomplishes the rare feat of translating philosophy to screen, complicating the “I think, therefore I am” adage with modern confusions.
