Neon Bull

Boi Neon

Wild, sensual and utterly transporting, NEON BULL unfolds within the world of the vaquejada, a traditional exhibition sport in which cowboys try to pull bulls to the ground by their tails. NEON BULL explores the vaquejada through the eyes of Iremar, a handsome cowboy who works the events. While he's not afraid to get his hands dirty, Iremar's real dream is to design exotic outfits for dancers.

Winner of a Venice Horizons Award at the Venice Film Festival. Winner of a Platform Prize at the Toronto International Film Festival.

"Visually ravishing and sexually provocative, Neon Bull offers an unforgettable portrait of a changing Brazil, at once earthy and arty." - Peter Howell, Toronto Star
