Movie Review: No Carnaval, No Beaches, No Glamour of Rio de Janeiro...
Summary: 5 Stars
Bus, car, train, plane is normal in traveling long distances, but imagine a entire family riding bicycles from Northeast of Brazil to get to Rio de Janeiro city(Southeast), it's about 3.500km!!!The only reason for this crazy and unique experience is the hope of finding a job of 1.000,00 reais (equivalente to $500 dollars). They'll face hunger,violence and scorching days...Thrilling and valuable movie...
Summary of THE MIDDLE OF THE WORLD (O Caminho das Nuvens)
The Middle of the World is a road movie on bicycles. It is freely adapted from the true story of an unemployed truck driver who, with his wife and five children, pedals from Para?ba, in the poverty-stricken Northeast of Brazil, all the way to Rio de Janeiro looking for a job. Rom?o (the father) feels destined to earn 1000 reais (about 300 US$) a month a vast sum for Brazilian standards. On four bikes, the family goes through five states, knows solidarity and indifference, aggressiveness and cordiality. A 2000-mile odyssey through the hinterlands of Brazil all the way to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil's best-known postcard. The Middle of the World shows the quest for the dream of a decent life a story of dreams and hope.Art House & International DVD Video
