Summary Even today there is still a certain resistance to recognizing the aesthetic revolution caused by Virus in the early eighties. The audacity of Federico Moura at the head of the La Plata's band exceeded the limits of rock and is still a source of art-pop knowledge. Pagan images explores that tension and rejection in times of dictatorship, a scourge that the Moura family paid with the disappearance of Federico's older brother. "I know what I do not want, but I'm not sure what I want and I'm glad it's so, the uncertain keeps me alive," says the singer as the youth photos go by quickly and all their profiles explain to the budding artist. The fan's look is borne by the direction: Sergio Costantino puts all the memorabilia at the service of the lost traces of the singer, who will die of AIDS in December 1988. Even the inserts, a kind of vision parallel to the stories of the protagonists reinforce stylistic features such as ambiguity, provocation, irony and sexual freedom. The documentary by Costantino inaugurates a time of historical reparation with Federico Moura as warrior of modernity. View more details
