"Bicycle Thief" and "Forbidden Games" are the only films about humanity with which to compare it.
Nelson Pereira dos Santos's masterpiece was a key element in the Brasilian "Cinema Novo." Like a great sculptor, he chiseled away everything not absolutely necessary to the story.
I have written and deleted many sentences... they all fall short of conveying the beauty of this film and its effect.
The DVD is of exceptional visual quality and the insights from the commentator are very worthwhile, especially for those unfamiliar with Brasilian literature or film.
This will sound silly but... the skill of the director is such that one doesn't feel one is watching a film but rather accompanying a family through its life.
An astonishing work.
