Antes que Eu Me Esqueça

Before I forget (Antes Que Eu Me Esqueça) is true gem of Brazilian cinema. This film smartly blends the exploration of a strained and complex family dynamic in the face of changes that cannot be ignored with commentary on the lives of a part of society (the elderly) that is often ignored.

Through the story of Polidoro, his children, and their efforts to reconnect long lost connections, Before I Forget expertly weaves a tale of growth in the face of decline. Both visually and in its prose, Before I forget tells a story that spans cultural boundaries.
