    A Beautiful Adaptation of a Brazilian Novel

    "Outras Estórias" ("Other Stories") is based on the novel Primeiras Estórias ("Firsts Stories") by the Brazilian writer João Guimarães Rosa. It takes place in the countryside of Minas Gerais and is divided in five timeless tales:

    (1) "Famigerado" ("Notorious") – The feared outlaw Damastor Dagobé (Cacá Carvalho) seeks out an educated man asking the meaning of the word "famigerado" ("notorious").

    (2) "Irmãos Dagobé" ("Dagobé Brothers") – A good young man kills Damastor Dagobé in self-defense. His dangerous brothers come to the funeral and the locals believe they will revenge their brother. Out of the blue, the youngster offers to carry the coffin with the brothers to the cemetery and has a surprise.

    (3) "Substância" ("Substance") – The farmer Sionésio (Enrique Diaz) falls in love with the joyful employee Maria Exita (Giulia Gam) that has been raised by his family since she was a child abandoned by her family. However, he is afraid that she might have inherited the disease of her mother.

    (4) "Nada e a Nossa Condição" ("Nothing and Our Condition") – After the death of his wife, the farmer Tio Manantonio (Paulo José) decides to secretly share his lands among his employees, telling his three daughters and sons-in-law that he is selling the real estate.

    (5) "Soroco Sua Mãe Sua Filha" ("Soroco His Mother His Daughter") – The butcher Soroco (Antônio Calonni) spends most of his time chasing his mother (Nilza Maria) and his daughter (Silvia Buarque) that are both mad. One day, he decides to send them to Barbacena by train.

    The cinematography and soundtrack of "Outras Estórias" are very beautiful, but the screenplay is tiresome since it is an adaptation of Guimarães Rosa that uses an erudite language in his novel. There are excessive narrative and the dialogs are hard to understand with the use of archaic and unusual constructions of sentences and pronunciation with the accent from the countryside of Minas Gerais. My vote is seven.

    Title (Brazil): "Outras Estórias" ("Other Stories")
