Arthur M @Arthur-Maximus Jun 23 Great film. It's a beautiful look at the pointlessness and hollowness of the "eye for an eye" Old Testament philosophy. A Brazilian classic everyone should see.

Y anuque en parte lo es, la parte de realismo mágico de esta película me encanto, algo parecido a lo que sucede con el Laberinto del Fauno en dondé una historia normal se combina con elementos surrealistas. El casting es genial, los escenarios son perfectos y los actores lo hacen excelente.

A very good foreign language film. Watched on DVD. See more jordan m @RT33422384 04/12/2022 They did a great job drawing me into what was ultimately not a particularly riveting storyline. The pacing, color palette and moments of high stakes action, paired with the relatively brief runtime, did more than enough to make this an enjoyable viewing experience. The plot reminded me of the intense feud that my in-laws have witnessed between their two neighbors who share a driveway with each other as there have been punches thrown over it, but otherwise I didn't think very highly of it because the entire generations-long feud was apparently resolved by the guy just leaving to join the circus. Why didn't anyone else think of that? I should also note that I was much less cynical than I might otherwise have been with this one because of how much work I had to put in to be able to view it. I couldn't find it anywhere with English subtitles, so I ended up on some obscure website whose media player accepted a subtitle text file that I found on another website I'd never visited. I was sure I was gonna have to skip this one and had almost given up when I found that, so the movie had no choice but to be a rewarding experience for me!
