Madame Satã (2002) by Karim Ainouz
AVI 512x320|XVID 864 kbps|MP3 99 VBR|1H40|Audio Brazilian|English subtitles, SRT|Drama|700 MB For a Cinema lover, the few first minutes of a movie are enough to make a judgment and on this film my judgment didn't mislead me. I give you the first words that open our film. A prosecutor describing our main character. The accused,a. k. a. Benedito Emtabaja da Silva...is a mischief-maker well known to the police. He frequents the district of Lapa and its vicinities. He is a passive pederast, who shaves his eyebrows..and imitates women, even changing his own voice. He has no religion. He smokes,gambles and is addicted to alcohol. He has no education. He speaks crudely, in the language of the gutter. He is of little intelligence. He hates society, which rejects him because of his vices... and associates with pederasts, whores... procurers and other misfits. He boasts about his wealth but has no regular work. His money can come only from degenerate criminal activities. He has numerous prior convictions. When in custody, he is often disruptive...and attacks police officers. He is cunning,an habitual law-breaker.For all these reasons,he poses a great threat to society. The film is very crude, violent and I warn you homo-erotic, but in the same time very impressive and captivating. It's the story of natural born artist who was doomed to remain a socially born criminal until he rebels against this social fate to live his own individual fate. I hope I gave you the desire to watch this remarkable film coming from Brazil, a country who showed recently a vivid and original cinema scene. Accatone.

 L.I.E. (2001) Michael CuestaAVI 576x304|XVID 847 kbps|MP3 149 VBR|1H35|Audio English|French subtitles, SRT|Drama|700 MB A remarkable movie. L.I.E. centers on Howie, a 15-year-old boy whose mother recently died in a car accident. Neglected by his father, an unscrupulous contractor who's constantly having sex with his new girlfriend, Howie falls in with a group of boys who break into houses for kicks. After one break-in Howie is caught by Big John (Brian Cox, the original Hannibal Lecter from Manhunter), a former Marine with a taste for young boys. But the relationship that develops between Howie and Big John surprises them both. L.I.E. captures male adolescence more genuinely than any other film in recent memory; the realism of the relationships, particularly between Howie and his father, is completely compelling. The movie affects all the senses; you can practically feel the texture of Howie's blue flannel sheets, smell the greenery that grows along the Long Island Expressway. Amazing performances, vivid direction, smartly written--superb all around. IMDB|AMAZON
