Pra Frente, Brasil

Roberto Farias is most known as average filmmaker, he made countless low-profile pictures of questionable taste, as Roberto Carlos trilogy, The Tramps (Trapalhões) and some soft porn movies as well, the highlights be summed up in few of them as ALL NUDITY SHALL BE PUNISHED, a true classic, maybe their best production ever.

Prá Frente Brasil Robert Farias dealing with an neuralgic subject to portrait a hard period of time during Brazilian military dictatorship on the early seventies, however caught in mass grave exposing it as silly and kitsch melodrama much like those tiresome and everlasting TV series made by Globo channel, even hiring some of Globo's regular TV stars as Antonio Fagundes, Natalia do Valle, Elizabeth Savalla and so for, somehow it has undermined the production.

Moreover a lame and far-fetched screenplay mixing drama and romance spoils too much the early preposition, instead focusing in the main subject, at least a wise fusion of wherein the Brazilian football team is running for world championship at Mexico meanwhile unfolds the fictional story, it brings a fresh concept on a sea mediocrity, well to ascertain my thought this picture wasn't released on DVD format, despite it had a higher rating at IMDB.

Thanks for reading.
