Indeed, very moving moment they have at the end. It must feel good to do such a good job of adapting someone's work that they cry tears of joy. Can't wait to see this film. Didn't know it opened Cannes though. Who's the producer?

Fernando Meirelles RULEZ! And so does Saramago´s work - pretty much everything he wrote.
City of God, by meirelles, is one of the best three brazilians movies ever made, and I´m really looking forward to seeing this one.

Moving this video to aspartam's personal queue. It failed to receive enough votes to get sifted up to the front page within 2 days.

You should check out the sequel to City of God, City of Men. It's just as good as the first one. This director is so talented. I was fortunate enough to have a role in Blindness, and man, is this guy something. A genius, I say.

Don't worry nomino, hopefully someone will see this soon and give it the magic 10th vote.
