CGiii Comment

Bob Dylan loving, dope smoking, angst-ridden teens in rural Brazil...

So...if you are a Bob Dylan loving, dope smoking, angst-ridden teen who happens to live in rural Brazil...then, this is the film for you.

Otherwise, don't bother...atmosphere is created NOT by a lingering camera but by intelligence and deft direction.

This is a prime example of a student film by a Bob Dylan loving, dope smoking, angst-ridden young director who lived in rural Brazil...who has acquired great pretension of not being a Bob Dylan loving, dope smoking, angst-ridden young director who once lived in rural Brazil.
