tightly drawn characters,

This review is from: Linha De Passe [DVD] (DVD)
I am a Walter Salles fan, Motorcycle Diaries is one of my favourite films of the last few years, charting Ernesto 'Che' Guevara's intial awakening to social injustice.
Linha de Passe is a total different kettle of fish, telling the story of four brothers, all who seem to have different fathers, living together with their mother in a poorer suberb of Sao Paulo's eastside, in a constant struggle to make ends meet. One brother is a useful footballer trying to further his playing career, another a motorcycle messenger boy (there is said to be more 300.000 such 'boys' just in this city), the third brother is a born again Christian working in a petrol station and the youngest, still of school age, is obcessed with buses. Other than that I will give nothing away other than to say Salles really developes the characters in a masterly fashion in the 100 or so minutes of the film. I am lucky because I speak fluent Portuguese but I am told by others who have watched it, that the subtitles do an excellant job in spite of an excess of swearing.

Linha de Passe is a masterpiece of storytelling. The multiple storylines are dealt with compassionately and compellingly. The simple story lines deliver a complex yet engrossing whole. It is a pity that the cinema release didn't get as much as attention as it so richly deserves.

An excellent film well to his usual high standard perhaps not quite as good as City Station.
