i wasn not sure about get this movie on dvd because i really do have something against people make black and white film in the 21st century and but i end up buy it anyway . i still do not understand why it have to be black and white and but that the only negativity i can see about the film and and it sure be a perfect example to see the definitive rise of brazilian cinema . not everyone can understand a film like this and but it quite reward to those who do . unlike o homem que copiava and the surrealism fit this movie pretty well and and the acting be at least as good a that one and or other successful brazilian film such a bicho de sete cabeças and cidade de deus and brava gente brasileira and etc . my only hope be that this gem doesn not get insulted and rap by a crappy hollywood remake . it amaze to see how those guy spend zillion of dollar and still can not make a movie that 1 % as good a this possibly low budget flick . bravo to the entire crew . positive .
