What pretends to demonstrate..., 7 September 2009
2/10
Author: João Pedro Tomás (joaoped@msn.com) from Faro, Portugal

... falls under its own weight. Corrupção, directed by João Botelho, has this premise in its very own beginning. Film stills over judicial buildings and statues and the title "Corrupção" in big, red and ugly letters. The rest is an attempt of showing the state of corruption of football in Portugal.

Probably produced by Nicolau Bryner, who is an admitted supporter of one known football club, the film is supposedly about the life of the president of the other rival club. Only to not mention names.

But this is a lame excuse to call a movie. Let us call it a sensationalist "pinky" sh!t, where truth isn't questionable but its long time veracity is.

Make money with money corruption. Quite hypocritical, isn't it?
