Movie Reviews of GABRIELA (BRUNO BARRETO)

Movie Review: A must see, overlooked for too long...
Summary: 5 Stars

I wore out a bootleg VHS of this film decades ago. It is classic and wonderful. The characters will draw you in, and the battle between pure simplicity and "civilized" complexity will make you wish you, too, could remember how to see life's pleasures through a child's eyes even the way Gabriela does. You'll also appreciate the change in attitudes, as Brazil's parallel to the American wild west, with it's "Colonels" in power, begins to crumble when the world's advances step in. After the movie, be sure to read the book, Gabriela, Clove and Cinnamon, by Jorge Amado. It is listed among the classic novels of Brazil. Then, see the movie, again.

Summary of GABRIELA (BRUNO BARRETO)

In 1925, Gabriela becomes cook, mistress, and then wife of Nacib, a bar owner in a small Brazilian coastal town runs by the local colonels. Nacib becomes tired of Gabriela's uneducated ways, and annuls the marriage when he finds her in bed with his friend Tonico. The political ways of the town modernize slightly and Gabriela returns as Nacib's mistress.
