Who is ready for more fun in Portuguese? After a
great start with DAY 1 here and DAY 2 at Beth’s place, we’re back with more
wonderful contributions.
J-Dub from Dubsism talks about space exploration, the
concept of impossible and sports world - all in a review of “Apollo 11” (1995),
starring Tom Hanks, one of the nicest guys with Portuguese heritage.
Magical realism is brought by Debbie from Moon in
Gemini as she reviews “Erendira”, a 1983 film directed by Ruy Guerra and
starring Claudia Ohana - both are Brazilian!
The country of East Timor is not 20 years old
yet, but its history can teach us powerful lessons. This is what Dan from Crimson Kimono shows by
reviewing two films about the invasion of this Portuguese-speaking territory in
1975.
My co-hostess Beth from Spellbound by Movies
reviews Casa de Lava (aka Down to Earth, 1994), a film by Portuguese director
Pedro Costa set in Cape Verde, a former Portuguese colony in Africa.
