O Homem que Copiava (2003)
Fun and stylish film
This movie is the story of a young man in Porto Alegre, Brazil who workers as copy machine operator in a small store. He has little money; making minimum wage, and dreams of being an animator and getting with his dream girl. When the store purchanse a color copy machine. He begins making counterfeit money and the adventure begins.
This is a fun film, both funny and adventurous. Short animation scenes are spliced in throughout the film. It also features fairly slick shots and editing. Another fine example of Brazilian cinema as the most original and entertaining in the world today (especially in comparson to hollywood).
Desmundo (2002)
Interesting
This Film is has an interesting topic, story, it is well acted and well filmed. Unfortunately the story fails to achieve any theme or idea beyond what is simply displayed. If the point was merely to show that 16th century brasil was a cruel place where many suffered a great deal it is accomplished. However several loose ends and a lack of events prevent this movie from being really good. However an excellent portrayal of 1570 Brazil.
Chicago Cab (1997)
Excellent independant film
This movie was made out of a popular chicago play called "Hellcab." It features a number of cameos, but the actor playing the cabbie in the movie does a fantastic job. There are a nuber of ethical dilemas in the film but they are subtle and believable. The mix of passagers gives the viewer an impression of an authentic view of what a day in a cab is like while it manages to comment on our relationships with each other both personal and as strangers. Very enjoyable film
Sydney (1996)
Excellent character study
Andersen is the best director for creating characters that are real and mean something to the audience. This film is no exception, fine directing and fine preformaces all the way around. Every element of the film is completly real, excellent film.
