Besouro (2009)
Amazing Film
13 August 2013 - 7 out of 10 users found this review helpful.
Amazing movie about a Brazilian legend: Besouro. All the actions scenes are very realistic and also have a Brazilian swing on this unique Brazilian martial art, the capoeira. Invented by Afro-Brazilians slaves to protect themselves against slavery. Photography is also a high level on the movie, vivid colors and very well done compositions. Based in a true Story, we can see lots of Brazilian culture hardly seen before, the relations between the slaves and the plantations owner are also told in the movie. The acting has a special taste, the actors are very genuine, the director chose a kind of non mainstream actors to keep the realistic feeling in the story. Totally recommended! Go for it!
