Neon Bull (2015) is a Brazilian arthouse drama directed by Gabriel Mascaro, set within the traveling rodeo circuit of northeastern Brazil. The film follows a bull handler who dreams of becoming a fashion designer, navigating masculinity, labor, and desire in a harsh working environment. Known for its tactile realism and festival acclaim, Neon Bull explores identity, gender roles, and intimacy against a backdrop of rural industry and modern aspiration.

Gabriel Mascaros sensual, subversive Neon Bull unfolds within the macho world of the vaquejada, a traditional Brazilian form of rodeo. Iremar is a bull wrangler, who aspires to being a fashion designer, and the film follows him and his friends as they travel from rodeo to rodeo dreaming of better days ahead.

Balancing a provocative realism with improvisational drama, Neon Bull is a celebration of its characters and their everyday lives as well as their obstinate capacity to dream. It explores the lives of its protagonists in evocative tableaux of fierce, funny, sweaty intimacy which lyrically subverts its macho domain.
