Kenoma

Mrs. Caffe made it! The brazilian films history, as the director Nelson Pereira dos Santos says, is made of deaths and re-births. Since 1990 the ashes of Tupi Phoenix has becoming a new bird. The multiplicity of styles is the main characteristic of the recent brazilian filmography, and Kenoma is a perfect example. A portrait of a place in the country, lost in the middle of nowhere, where people is a part of the landscape. The strong aspects of the characters personality (like obstinacy and desire for progress) contrasts on the bucolic comunity, poor and forgotten. Great movie, with great actors playing fantastic roles - each character fighting to reach his own aim.
