9/10
Interesting, beautiful and hilarious
10 October 2007
I liked a lot this movie, because it shows a face of Brazil that doesn't have to do with samba, carnival, or favelas. It's about the northeastern culture, music and myths, which have almost nothing to do with the rest of the country (except for the language, and even that changes a lot). This movie has great landscapes, the photography is gorgeous, and has that sort of "magical realism" that was very celebrated during the 60's, 70's in Latinamerican literature. Is a great way to remember that once in America (and until now in some parts), magic and reality are the main ingredients of life itself. Great movie, great trip, that leaves you with great feelings, and of course, the anxiety to see those lands by oneself.
