Giovanna E Filme IMPECÁVEL, atuação de arrepiar e uma p**** reflexão, vale a pena. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/13/23 Full Review Audience Member shocking and terrifying it is one of the best disturbing films. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/26/23 Full Review Audience Member Brainstorm is a film released in 2001 based on the real story of Austregésilo Carrano, which is told in the book "O Canto dos Malditos". Aesthetically the film is very good, the photography is very good, always close-up shots giving a feeling of Claustrophobia. The performances are great, especially by Rodrigo Santoro, but all the actors are doing very well. It is a film that makes you think and reflect on the flawed Brazilian system of the time. I strongly recommend that everyone watch this movie. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/28/23 Full Review Audience Member Um filme nacional ótimo e chocante,mostrando uma triste realidade ocorrida nos manicômios brasileiros,uma boa indicação de filme nacional para se quebrar o preconceito com relação a nossos filmes Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/18/23 Full Review Audience Member 4.2/5 Powerful, deep and unquestionably valuable, Bicho de Sete Cabecas is nothing short of a latin american classic. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Audience Member Both a showcase of Rodrigo Santoro's talent and an exposé of the horrible conditions of mental institutions in Brazil (based on a real life story), this is an tragic and unsettling drama that looks quite realistic with its use of handheld camera and blueish cinematography. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/14/23 Full Review Read all reviews
