Gavaznha (1974)
A masterpiece portrait of an opium addicted man trying to function despite of his condition
A truly moving piece of picture. This is the story of an man who in spite of his addiction tries to function and figure out his life.

I can't believe more people haven't discovered this movie yet...
This is perhaps one of the best movies ever made. The entire movie can be seen as a portrait of a man who receives subliminal signals from his surroundings and eventually acts upon it. The perfectly displayed relationship between Sean Penn and Naomi Watts is amongst the best i have ever seen on the screen. The way Penn molds his character to perfection is truly an act of our times greatest actor. Sean Penn has in resent years developed so much that he's reached a peak slightly higher than the one of the 70's and 80's stars(no names mentioned). One should not forget the beautiful and much talented Naomi Watts who helps Penn in the creation of a mood necessarily in believing in the director's idea with the film.
By seeing this movie you actually take a stand on where the standard of Hollywood should lie.
