Brazil
Episodic examination of a gentrifying neighborhood in Recife. Most are ordinary working people with one aging godfather watching over them. We witness little changes in their lives over time which in the aggregate become the evolutionary changes that define a culture.
Film was slow but it engaged us immediately because of the close focus on the various individuals. It was only as time passed that we saw who they were and how they all fit together.
Undramatic...more cosy than exciting. Part of the modern film trend toward examining the lives of regular folks just going about their lives in an unfamiliar setting.
