Review of Barren Lives

Barren Lives (1963)
9/10
the film that best shows the reality it lasts and cruel of the poor people of the northeast of Brazil.
21 May 1999
Typical representative of the call "Cinema Novo" in Brazil, that film is beautiful. With picture in black and white, the history was based on a classic of the Brazilian literature and it rotates around a family it expels of your earth for the dry climate, with thirst and hunger, migrating for an inhospitable landscape in search of a better life. Even a character so difficult of representing, the female dog " Baleia ", it has an anthological interpretation.
