That´s a great deal. You gain all the money, then he does all the work, and I do absolutely nothing. I like that.

FYI I should advise, I find the current darlings of Metropolitan Opera & Hollywood tycoons (namely Mr. & Mrs. Baz Luhrman) simply abominable. It follows that I would be inconsistent with my aesthetic abominations if I did not I rank Mr. Guel Arraes of the Brazilian TV net Globo among other dreadful would-be geniuses. Actually, to be fair Arraes was the real pioneer here. His video-clip aesthetics came forward long before the Luhrmans even perpetrated 'Moulin Rouge.' Such similar Weltanschaung is also based on coarse humour plus quick editing cuts plus total indifference to period fidelity. 'Caramuru' is therefore rather typical. It ridicules Brazilian colonial history. Supposedly, it is therefore a farce. Quite unfunny, though. Its action is in the 16th century but the film emphasizes 20th-century Carnival pageants. Inaccuracy on purpose? Clothes are ridiculous. On purpose? Anyway, Bad humour + an Awkward narration by Mr. Nanini (rather displaced herein, though) + Excessive histrionics + a Pseudo-genius touch equals low-brow audience success plus middle-brow critical commendation, with (maybe I should add) a little touch of toadyism.
