Good movie

Faroeste Caboclo is the most beautiful Brazilian movie I saw this year: the images and editing are eye popping and the soundtrack is pretty. René Sampaio, in his first movie, shows an exemplary technical finesse (a young talent from the advertising): the camera work is dynamics and the visual effects are convincing. Fabricio Boliveira, who plays the main character, has has strong stage presence and the new black actor to follow. Being a familiar story, the film did not surprise us - we know what will happen. The impact would be greater if it were not for this "detail". Fans of Renato has the history of Santo Cristo, the character, in their head; René Sampaio made his version competently.
