Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe movie is based on a story narrated by the director's great-uncle Ranulpho Gomes, who sold Aspirin in Brazil during the 1940's.
- GoofsA character in the movie says that Brazil is larger than the United States not including Alaska. At the time of the movie's story (1942) Alaska wasn't a state yet. Incorrectly regarded as goof: The character was referring to the size of the *contiguous* US, not including US non-contiguous *territories*, of which Alaska was its largest, being a territory and part of the US since 1898.
Featured review
For Your Consideration
"Cinema, Aspirinas e Urubus" is Brazil's official entry for the 2007 Academy Awards Foreign Language Film competition.
It will probably not win, for it is too arty for the Oscars taste (it won a special prize at the Cannes Film Festival), but it definitely deserves a nomination.
Beyond its apparent simplicity, you will discover an overwhelming tale of friendship, with very decent performances (specially by João Miguel) and exquisite cinematography.
A must see for everyone who appreciates good cinema!
P.s: I also recommend another new Brazilian gem - O Ano em Que Meus Pais Saíram de Férias (2006)
