Maria Helena G Feb 19 One of the best Brazilian movies of all times. After almost 25 years it is completely actual, beautiful images, music, and acting, and still unknown as a hidden and precious pearl. A must see film.

Pretentious to the limit, overly long with ridiculous, unnecessarily complex voice-overs and embarrassing, never ending images will make sure only the strongest viewers endure this movie until the end. See more 07/27/2012 I tried to watch this movie the other night. I ended up fast forwarding through most of it. It just takes too much time to make its point. For anyone who likes a film that moves along at a good clip, this movie will be very tiresome. I don't think the average person can sit through so much dialogue these days...Plus I have noticed that past few years that a lot of these type of movies are rather timid in their portrayal of the stuff that actually goes on in families like these. Or maybe I have been desensitized by all the shocking stuff that keeps coming out in the real world!!! See more 03/04/2012 A Lovelorn Poem about Forbbidden Love captured on Film... See more 10/07/2011 at 172 minutes this epic drama is lavish, violent lyrical and almost dreamlike. like the 16th and 17th century english writers and poets it looks back lovingly at a simple farm life and a family with nostalgia and longing to return to that life as a big tight knit family as the oldest brother tries to bring back his other brother who has run away.
