Cinema, Aspirins and Vultures

Brazil

1942 Brazil's northeast hinterlands. A German national escapes the war traveling the barren wastes selling what was then a new, miracle product...aspirin. He hooks up with a local and the two make an odd couple going from town to town.

Film vaguely reminded me of Bye, Bye Brazil. The two leads played well off each other and though neither was particularly likable I found myself fond of both by journey's end.

Nice, modest little film.
