I mean, it’s no Marighella. It’s a tragedy, but they live in Leblon, just across the street from the beach. It’s completely focused on the wife. How did “the help” survive so long without wages? Where did she went afterwards? A lot of glossed over things.
It’s too damn clean, either the family or public life. It’s basically apolitical, even though the guy was part of the opposition to military dictatorship.
As with modern biopics, you watch the film and get small morsels of information about his life. He wasn’t even a radical, neither his family and associates. If some aristo reformist is being disappeared, murdered, and his body disposed of, what chance could all other people have?
This is my place for ramblings about sequences of images that exploit the human visual limitation know as persistence of vision.
