Redentor

A prime example of the far reaching scope of semi-public broadcaster SBS in Australia.

They have a film in a different language nearly every night and it was hard not to be drawn into this film as the moral lessons appear to be driven home by the writer, producer and director.

As stated by previous reviewers this enormous country suffers from extremes of wealth and poverty and the themes are treated very powerfully in this film.

It transcends a plot as the viewer becomes so absorbed by the characters that the outcome is almost secondary.

The closing titles which feature the dynamic sound of Gigi D'Agostino also claim the attention of the watcher as they illustrate what a mammoth production this film was.
