O Descobrimento do Brasil

It's a historical movie. One of the first of Brazilian Filmography, it has it's importance, but clearly shows how underdeveloped the seventh art was in Brasil in that point. Years before had been made: City Lights, Modern Times ans M (Fritz Lang). Mauro's filmed theater was then dated and boring, but important to the development. History curiosity, that's all.

The acting is definitely theatrical and the quality of the copy we have today, even restored, is terrible.

In the years to come, better things (considering international panorama) were made in Brazil.
