The Pink Cloud / Film School Radio interview with Director Iuli Gerbase

Iuli Gerbase’s eerily prescient debut feature film, THE PINK CLOUD, drops us into a time where life changes for people all over the world when a toxic and mysterious pink cloud has appeared, forcing the world indoors immediately and indefinitely. In Brazil, Giovana (Renata de Lélis) finds herself stuck in her apartment with a man she just met, Yago (Eduardo Mendonça). But their carefree one-night stand grows into a years-long relationship complicated by a child and increasingly divergent worldviews as they try to imagine a future from the depths of a potentially never-ending lockdown. THE PINK CLOUD was written in 2017 and shot in 2019, this stunning, slow-burn sci-fi debut from writer/director luli Gerbase is both an all to familiar reflection of our recent reality and a cathartic exploration of hope and despair, love and fear, and the boundlessness and limits of our ability as humans to adapt. Director and writer Iuli Gerbase joins us to talk about the inspiration for the film, creating a palpable sense of enveloping dread in the look of the film and creating a claustrophobic space for Giovanna and Yago to experience love, death, sex, boredom, parenting, contempt, indifference, and grudging respect.
