Brazil 2001 | Walter Salles | French subtitles | 95’ | 35mm | Cast: José Dumont, Rodrigo Santoro, Rita Assemany.
April 1910. In Brazil's arid northeast, a blood-stained shirt sways in the wind. Tonho, the youngest son of the Breves family, is compelled by his father to avenge his elder brother's death, a victim of a long-standing feud between families over property disputes. The film, sparse in dialogue, often lingers in static, drawn-out shots focusing on weathered, perspiring faces and the aridity of both hearts and land. Yet, the beautiful story, told with simplicity, the understated and convincing performances, and the director's craftsmanship make the film captivating.
