| | 1. |  | Boca
from Republic Pictures
Customer Review:
I agree with one reviewer here who says that the characters of Boca himself, the brutal gangster, and his feral Brazilian mistress - they are the jewels in this film. One of the most memorably erotic movies I have ever seen. I wish, like another reviewer, that it would come out as a DVD. I'd snap it... more info

from Homevision
Customer Review:
I love this movie. I am from Pittsburgh, PA, and would love to know more about Marpessa Dawn. I read somewhere that she was once a dancer with Katherine Dunham's group. I was wondering if she did speak Portuguese. Too bad there was not much work for a beautiful actress such as she at that time. The... more info

| | 4. |  | Pixote
from New Yorker Video
Customer Review:
This "docu-movie" is unforgettably acted by real Brazilian street kids. I can't even imagine living through what these kids have to endure. Director Hector Babenco does a phenomenal job in painting a, what I can only believe to be a true picture of the hell of being young & homeless in Brazil.

| | 5. |  | Amor Bandido
from Fox Lorber Home Video
Customer Review:
Amor bandido is certainly not a very romantic and dreamy movie. It is very violent but every scene is totally justified. One must know that all characters in the movie are not sophisticated, they all live in favelas and have a lot of problems because they don't know how to live better.

from New Yorker Video
Customer Review:
I gave this video as a gift to a person who started watching the tv show 'xica'. This is a novela from the 90s that is being aired again. Several family members love it, and they thought it was cool to get the vhs movie version. I would recommend to anyone who likes to watch novelas.

from Miramax
Customer Review:
Throughout the world there are a million stories happening every second. Try to wrap your mind around that for a moment. As I sit here and type, or as you sit there and read this review, there are people experiencing their lives through sadness, adventure, humor, or experimentation. There are those... more info

| | 8. |  | The Charcoal People
from Vanguard Cinema
Customer Review:
I found this title accidentally at the library, and am very glad I did. The premise is simple enough, describe and open a window of insight into a class of people who make charcoal for steel mills. If I hadn't been to Brazil before, I might have overlooked this gem, but thankfully I was hungry for... more info

| | 9. |  | Midnight
from Fox Lorber
Customer Review:
If you really enjoy Hollywood movies with predictible, happy endings, this movie isn't for you. The movie is about people's resiliance to find a brief moment of content with each other in otherwise completely desperate situation. I find the acting compelling and vividly illustrated the situations of... more info
