An Understated Gem About Choosing Your Own Future,
By K. Harris "Film aficionado" (Albuquerque, NM) - See all my reviews (TOP 10 REVIEWER) (HALL OF FAME REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Cinema, Aspirins and Vultures (DVD)
2005's "Cinema, Aspirins, and Vultures" is a surprisingly straightforward, simple and understated story. Its power derives from the fact that it is underplayed to perfection. Set in 1942, the tale introduces a German traveling salesman who befriends a local on the road. The two form a tentative bond as they traverse the country from small town to small town. As world news starts to invade their idyllic lifestyle, the salesman and his new companion must make some important decisions about what the future holds for them both. Both actors are terrific in subtle performances--and the underlying sadness that interrupts their journey is so strong because it is largely left under the surface and not dealt with in a melodramatic fashion. KGHarris, 8/11.

Sweet Brazilian Road Movie,

This review is from: Cinema, Aspirins and Vultures (DVD)
I was totally charmed by this Brazilian movie at the Palm Springs Film Festival. Just get it, and you will see. If you liked "Central Station," you will love this movie.
