Brazilian cinema’s jewel
This film of Nelson Pereira dos Santos and another one called “Oz fuzis” or ‘The guns’ by Ruy Guerra are my favourite Brazilian movies. These films have mirrored the films of Mrinal Sen and Adoor Gopalakrishnan made in India at about the same time. The realism they offer and the rather unconventional use of the soundtrack affects the viewer, though seriously lacking in production quality. I know that most critics tend to classify these two Brazilian films as representative of the Cinema Nouvo, but I prefer to see the two as unusually impressive cinema, little affected by Hollywood. Vidas Secas in a way brings back memories of neo-realism in de Sica’s “Bicycle Thief.”

The later work of dos Santos failed to impress me. He seems to have burned out–improving in technical qualities but losing out on artistic vision.

Adaptated from a book.
I rented this movie just because I had read the good book by Graciliano Ramos, back in 1992 in high school. When I played the video tape I really enjoyed what I saw. The slow rhythm is not an obstacle for us who want to have a great time watching a movie. It’s the other way around, we just can’t leave it once we realise “Vidas Secas” is an impressive narration of the difficulties poor people have when they try to move from their dying land in order to start a new life in the city. It’s really time to press “play” and sit back.

My rate 7/10
