Assunto de Família

I saw this film in a quite bizarre version with a guy doing an introduction and then an explication de texte afterwards. I'm not sure that he helped me to understand what was going on despite his having claimed to know the director. To me the film spoke of drab working class lives where hopes have faded amongst the adults and the young brothers compete, with the older one called Cauã being a bully as a way to validate his existence.

His mates are equally moronically macho - or are they? One of them puts a stop to Cauã's torturing of Rossi and later connects with him after poncing a cigarette.

Vulnerable moment gone, the gang takes to the streets to celebrate a football win.

On balance I'm glad I saw this.
