Another non-English spoken movie that stands very well against any Hollywood movie - that's how I rate this movie.
Screenplay
This is a story about 4 absolutely different people whose lives get connected somehow. OK, I know the idea is not new but the way it is told and the how the flashback at the beginning starts making sense is very original. This story is both funny, realistic, sad and adventurous, it depicts several realities of Brazil but always with a refreshing and comic view...
The actors
Great. All of them. From the kid to the beautiful Brazilian babe, I think they all played a great part and really get the viewer into the movie.
The photography
I guess it's the weakest part of the movie, it's not bad, but it's not artistic (as I like). It has much of the feeling of "Cidade de Deus", you watch the whole movie without noticing any technique or lack of it..
Soundtrack Five stars :) For those who like Brazilian music, that is...
