Set in rural
Brazil ‘Charcoal’ focuses on the family of Irene and her husband Jairo and son
jean. Jairo earns money seasonably by burning charcoal but also has a drinking
problem. They struggle to cover medical costs for
bedridden grandfather Firmino, who after a stroke can no longer walk, talk or
breathe without additional oxygen.
One day a
new district nurse Juracy arrives who makes Irene an unusual proposal. To “replace”
Firmino with a much more lucrative lodger. An Argentinian crime “jefe” named
Miguel who has faked his own death and needs to lie low for a while.
Markowicz
maintains a tight grip on the tone of this movie, keeping it on the biting
point between black comedy and agonising suspense.
