Review by joaoantonioasodias

One day I was just doing nothing in my house when my father stomped on my room and said "My son! We have a good to see today!" making me quite surprised as I really seen him so excited about a random movie. After reaching the end of the movie I must say that I could not fault him as the movie was really that good. The movie is a mix of various folk tales from the "Sertão" region of Brazil on the history of the semi-mythical Ojuara, a bohemian hero born of the mistreatments done to a common fellow. He travels around this region looking for the "end of the world" in a quite literal and non literal meaning of the world. It shows a rarely seen side of Brazil with an optimistic view, as what most of the foreigner people now about this area and its people is about misery sadness and other tragic feelings, as they like to forget all the magic and happiness that surrounds and enshrouds these places. From the Baianas to the Orixas and from Our Holy mother of Aparecida to Padinho Ciço, the wonders and magic of this region will completely and utterly capture the heart of anyone that sees it.
