Lower City (2005)

£0.00


Country: BRA/GB
Technical: col 98m
Director: Sérgio Machado
Cast: Wagner Moura, Lázaro Ramos, Alice Braga, José Dumont

Synopsis:

Brazil: a girl sets off to seek her fortune; not being too choosy about how she pays her way she takes up with a pair of firm friends running a boat down river. Unable to choose between them she becomes pregnant and gradually tears them apart.

Review:

A schematic plot stakes its colours to the mast about halfway through, but the acting, visceral and sexually comitted, by relative newcomers, and the visual style - handheld, saturated colour, vivid local detail - are worth a look.
