Is it journalism?  Is it “staged”?  As the poet said: partly truth partly fiction, a walking contradiction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe images explode with color, heat, humidity, sex, more sex, danger, fear, chaos, more chaos.  There are sublime women that look like Greek statues, were the Greeks to ever have imagined those hips and that café au lait skin.  There are monsters – masked paramilitaries with automatic weapons, a skeletal transvestite, her face a death mask grimace, drinking beer through a straw and smoking her cigarette down to the filter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHarvey hits all the high points – even clichés – of Rio de Janeiro, but his treatment is subversive.  Beaches, mountains, high society, favelas, jungles, voodoo; they’re all here, but thrown together in a high-energy, digital montage that evokes the emerging aesthetic of Chaos Cinema.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"David Alan Harvey","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57537059193214,"sku":null,"price":616.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0592\/2593\/1985\/files\/based-on-a-true-story-by-David-Alan-Harvey1.heic?v=1781191261","url":"https:\/\/www.setantabooks.com\/en-us\/products\/based-on-a-true-story","provider":"Setanta Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
