Os Machões

Brazilian cinema has made its horizons wider and wider in the last 10 years, an interruption of nearly two decades of low quality films. "Os Machões" is from those years of bad productions, the 70's and the 80's, but we can surely say it's good. It's not an Oscar winner film (actually it's million miles from that) but we can consider it as a good one. Because of these years of terrible cinema, Brazilian actors and actresses have made most of their careers in television soap operas, and Brazil is said to make the best ones in the world. This made cinema be always after television in people's preference in this country all long those 20 years. Reginaldo Farias and Flávio Migliaccio became famous because of their lots of successful soap operas, and Erasmo Carlos had (and still has) his years of glory as a rock n' roll singer. In 1972 they made this nice film that may make you laugh and have a good time with a simple but good story.
