Awesome movie, Babenco's masterpiece with international star such as Daryl Hannah and Aidan Quinn, and Brazilian great actors such as José Dumont and Stênio Garcia, filmed in Amazon Forest. The film is long but every part worth and engages. All characters are deeply developped and layered, cinematography is gorgeous, script is excellent, and the story is very important. It is a film to enjoy and, afterwards, keep thinking about it. Who is right, who is wrong? What is to be loyal and faithful? Can people become better? Culture, religion, land, everything is presented as complex as they are. The movie is powerful, beautiful and rich of elements and details. It is one of the best films I have watched and I honestly do not understand how I could take 30 years to watch it!
