Au coeur du monde

Interesting and varied characters deeply developped in a realistic periphery in the town Contagem. The beginning is amazing, and the way we gradually know the different characters, how they are related to each other, and their lives is very engaging. Their existences are far from desired and they want to be somewhere else: if the needed profit will come from a new work or through a great crime, that will vary. Indeed, borders between crime and honest work are not always so rigid, and both are neighbors. Action scenes are as good as the daily routine ones, and here I saw one of the very best shooting footage. The only drawback, in my opinion, is that there are too many side stories which are not developped until the end, and some kmportant events are never explained or are just forgotten. The film is quite well directed and has excellent actors, and listening Minas Gerais accent is very nice.
