★★★ · Nice overview. · Spuzz · 2003-02-11
This is a whirlwind tour of Brazil. It provides a nice showcase of what Brazil has to offer. Supplemented by both a nice calming narration and a subtle musical score is nice, but never interferes with the visuals. Though not as deliriously great as 'Adalantes Cubanos' this film is colorful, interesting and fun to watch,
★★★ · Here's *Another* Film About Brazil · Christine Hennig · 2003-12-06
This National Geographic film is a standard, though fairly well-made, educational travelogue about Brazil. A few isolated spots of weirdness include some guys in drag in a Mardi Gras parade and venom being harvested at that weird snake ranch in Sao Paulo. But mostly this is just what youd expect. Ratings: Camp/Humor Value: SS. Weirdness: ¬¬. Historical Interest: . Overall Rating: $$$.
