lower city
For those of us new to the sex trade on the northeastern coast of Brazil, “Lower City” will come as an education. Whole swaths of Sérgio Machado’s movie, in fact, are enticingly unfamiliar. When our heroes—a young black guy called Deco (Lázaro Ramos) and his white friend Naldinho (Wagner Moura)—chug downriver to the port of Salvador, delivering goods in their small boat, what to them is an ordinary trip feels to us queasy with foreboding, as perilous as the route pursued by Willard in “Apocalypse Now.”
Assim começa a crítica de "Cidade Baixa" na New Yorker dessa semana.
Eu achei o filme uó. E não me interessei pelo tal do qualquer coisa Frank. Muito umbiguismo mesmo. eheheh Bom revê-lo amigo, ainda que não pudéssemos trocar umas figurinhas, nem que fossem da copa mesmo.
