Do Começo ao Fim (From Beginning to End)

I just watched this beautiful film from Brazil. And I know that I should be truly disturbed but I'm not. (?) I really really fell in love with this film! I did.

"To understand our love, they'd need to turn the world upside down." How powerful is this line. It speaks to everyone whose love has been challenged.

The story was perplexed and agonising but utterly beautiful. (it helped that the cast were super gorgeous and were willing to be naked on film.hehe) But seriously. I loved it's freedom of speech and like what they said on film, it was "...liberating."

It's liberating when it's about love and it's true love and no one needs to bat an eyelid about it. When it's true love like this, it should be the only two people that matters the most. Everything, everyone one else is the obstacle, because they don't understand. When deep down, deep deep down...it should be ok. It is ok.

I couldn't believe that Brazil were able to do a film about this sort of taboo. Thank you Downtowne Films. And I know that these kinds of stories must exist in real life. I don't know what were they thinking, which audience they were trying to capture, how they made the crew to believe in this story...but they did.

And I'm glad.

It is...a Love Story after all.

Revue: 10 out of 10.



Cinematography was also beautiful. It reminded me much of the Brazil I remember and the Buenos Aires that I visited.

Thank you. Thank you Aluizio Abranches for making this film. And thank you Rafael Cardoso and Joao Gabriel in bringing this film to life!!! Truly wonderful film.
