Here's a short documentary on a traditional event related to the War of Contestado and made in the state of Santa Catarina, and it's something they celebrate over the decades and stuff. Stuff, I say, as it's just one of those old conflicts between states (SC and Paraná) that only reflect in one side winning a bigger portion to itself. Not the point here, though. Point is that the director of "O Bandido da Luz Vermelha" (one of the most overrated films of all time) went there to film the event, the parties and stuff, and it's just such a festival of ridicule and bore, except when he keeps filming the pretty girl on the horse, and the sword thing go on. There's something slightly magical about those moments, memories of a long-by time that people find ways to preseve it and it becomes slightly beautiful.

And then there's a guy who keeps comparing traditions (with Rio de Janeiro) and asking how the state of Santa Catarina could be remembered or something along those lines. Well, it should be remembered for anything but this old 19-century stuff. 3/10.
