Blood and Wine: A Brazilian Story

Mateus (Leonardo Vieira), Antônia (Simone Spoladore) and their children are thrust headlong into the political turbulence of 1950s and '60s Brazil when police violently arrest an outlaw during the grand opening of the family's new grocery store. The brutal act is only the first of many wounds the family will sustain during the tumultuous era in this gripping drama, based on the novel by Miguel Jorge.

While I found this to be an excellent political drama, it was a little too depressing for my tastes. I can't say I liked it a lot but I can say it is well made, well acted, and interesting, and the subtitles were very easy to follow, although the translation was a little off. Recommended for fans of dark depressing political drama. I liked it but not a lot. I'm sure some will like it more than I did, but for me it was just okay. Those looking for a feel good flick with a happy ending will hate it. Because of disturbing scenes of torture and murder this will not be good for kids or sensitive viewers.
