Featured review
I remember when I watched O Quatrilho for the first time (1995) in Brazil and I was so impressed with the plot, the acting, the scenery and everything else. I was also so very sad when they didn't win the Oscar! Shame they competed with another foreign film - the Dutch film "Antonia's Line" - that had a very different story line, and it was obviously what the academy was looking for that specific year. Now I am sure that had "O Quatrilho" competed against a similar film, they would have won. However, just the fact that the film was nominated shows how good it is. I loved it for so many reasons, but here are 2 of them: 1) it portrays the struggles and ups and downs of the Italian families that went to Brazil in the beginning of the 20th century to find a better life, which gives you another glance of our history; 2) It has romance, drama, love, betrayal, resilience, etc., which caters not only for romantic women (like me), but also for men. Watch it, if you haven't yet. Where can I get the DVD?
