"For its cinematographic language, which allows us to make our own observations. Its open editing is fluent and elegant. A political drama told within the classic narrative without falling into the classic film-grammar and tools. The Trial is a film on Brazilian politics which also shows the universal process of delegitimization of republican institutions and sheds a new light on the dangers to contemporary democracy. This is a film about the structures of human life without ever losing humanity and emotions - a kind of film, that we would like to see more in contemporary cinema."
