Fernanda Torres is impeccable
An Oscar rarely goes to a country like Brazil, but it is unbelievable how deep this film reaches. The times of the Brazilian dictatorship left deep marks that only a masterpiece like this film can highlight. You have to be vigilant and strong.
Walter Salles: you are a genius!!!!!
Watch it in the cinema and try to hold back the tears! If necessary, reading about the real story of the characters in the plot can help you understand the film. Knowing that it is something real makes everything even more vivid. Oscar!!!
